UNC men's golf Joshua Matz finished tied for third at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic
CHANDLER, Ariz. – Northern Colorado's Joshua Matz earned his second top 5 finish of the season on Tuesday as he shot a 2-under, 70 to close out the Wyoming Cowboy Classic on Tuesday. Matz finished in a tie for third with a 9-under, 207 for the 54-hole tournament.
As a team, Northern Colorado finished in 12th place of the 20-team tournament by shooting a 7-over, 871.
Matz, who sank 11 birdie putts on day one, added five more in the final round. The three round score of 207 is a career-best for Matz and third best in program history tying former Bear Seven Kupcho.
Freshman Jack Castiglia had the second-best finish of the team and second-best round of the day as well. He shot a 1-over 73 on Tuesday to end the tournament tied for 51st with a score of 219.
Prenzlow's Perspective
Congrats to Joshua in another nice event as he played with great desire and commitment to each shot over the course of the 54-holes! As a team we really need to focus on on the task at hand and forget about past problems. We are carrying negative shots forward. Hopefully this was a great wake up call for us and we will have a good week of practice before heading in to our next event in Provo.
What's ahead
Northern Colorado has one more regular season tournament before the Big Sky Championship at the end of the month. The Bears final tune-up will take place in Provo, Utah at the BYU Cougar Classic over April 19-20. The 2019 Big Sky Championship is over April 26-28 at the Boulder Creek Golf Club in Boulder City, Nevada.
