4/15/2018 8:20:00 PM | Men's Golf
Coby Welch finished the El Macero Classic fourth to lead UNC men's golf to a top 10 finish.
EL MACERO, Calif. – Northern Colorado men's golf continued its upward trend on Sunday by saving its best round for last. The Bears shot a 302 (+14) to move into ninth by the time the tournament ended. UNC held steady throughout the day, while teams around them struggled. The team finished a stroke behind Cal Poly for eighth and a stroke ahead of Air Force, who finished 10th.
Coby Welch finished his strong weekend of play with a 73 to finish fourth individually with a 220 (+4). He was one-over following his first nine holes of the day, the back nine of the course, but once again had a strong final nine. Over the front nine of the course, Welch birdied four holes to achieve the top five finish.
Outside of Welch, UNC had three other golfers record sub 80 rounds. Marcus Tait shot a 75, while Joshua Matz and Sam Marley, each shot a 77. For the tournament, Marley finished second for the team with a tie for 48th at 233.
Coach Prenzlow's Take
"The Bears played a very competitive round today in the wind. It was fun to watch them compete in every shot. Coby was excellent all tournament and his fourth-place finish is his best of the season. It was great to see freshman Marcus Tait play a nice round. Also having Sam and Josh were very close to having good rounds. We need to take this positive energy to practice this week and get ready for the Big Sky Championship."
