TUCSON, Ariz. - The University of Arizona men's golf team ended play at The Goodwin tournament in Palo Alto, California today finishing in 23rd place. Leading the wildcats in the third round was freshmen George Cunningham who carded a 71 (+1) on four birdies. Cunningham finished tied for 39th place with a 74+67+71=212 (+2) in the tournament.
“I'm quite disappointed with myself today,” noted Cunningham. “My overall finish was bad in the tournament and I just didn't perform the way I need to in order to play well. I putted poorly this week so that will be a big focus for me moving into ASU next week.”
Senior Brenden Redfern helped out the team playing in the three spot shooting a 73 (+3) in the third round. Redfern finished tied for 80th place with a score of 70+75+73=218 (+8) over the weekend. Junior Kolton Lapa finished the tournament with a score of 72+74+76=222 (+12) to tie for 95th. Freshmen Peter Koo carded a 74 (+4) in the third round to scare a 75+79+74=228 (+18) and place 115th. Senior Alex McMahon shot a 77+78+74=230 (+20) to tie for 118th.
Head men's golf coach Jim Anderson said, “We are going to have to regroup from this week quickly. We head north to Tempe to play another tough field and we will see if our team has a big heart. We know we need better play across the board and hopefully we can instill some confidence by working hard this week. The rough and championship conditions tested us this week and we let bad shots affect the way we played. We need to be more mentally tough.”
Next up, the wildcats will compete in the ASU Thunderbird Invitational in Tempe, Arizona on April 4.
