Larson Slips to 30th in Final Regional Round

DAKOTA DUNES, SD – It was an up and down tournament for the Yellowjackets’ first ever regional golf qualifier.  Nicholas Larson shot an 8-over par 80 in Wednesday’s final round of the NCAA West Regional to finish in 30th place with a three day total of 22-over 238.

"For a freshman playing in his first regional, Nick impressed a lot of people this week," said Yellowjacket head coach Roger Burckley.  "It was a good experience for him and he learned a lot.  He struggled with his putting, but it was a very tough course.  Only two players finished under par for both regions."

After struggling to an 84 on Monday, Larson managed the tough 7,165-yard course for a 2-over 74 in Tuesday’s second round to move within striking distance of the top 20.  But seven bogeys and a double bogey on Wednesday dropped him back in the pack. 

Starting on the back nine again Wednesday, Larson doubled No. 10 to start the day.  He followed with a bogey and his only birdie of the day on the next two holes.  Things were looking good after back-to-back pars following the birdie, but he bogeyed No. 15 and No. 18 before making the turn at 4-over.  Five pars and four bogeys on his second nine left him at 8-over for the day.

Western Washington’s Tim Feenstra won top individual honors with a 2-under 214 over the three rounds, leading the Vikings to the team title.  He shot a 67 on Tuesday, the second lowest round of the tourney.  Hawaii-Hilo’s Nick Mason was close behind with a 1-under 215.
