BREMERTON, Wash. — Eastern continued on the road at The Tindall, hosted by the University of Washington at Gold Mountain Golf Course. Eastern battled hard and finished 14th (+13).
"It's still very early in the process of this new program, but the team this week showed we have a lot of potential," head coach
Russell Grove said. "We had a rough go out of the gates but each round we improved substantially and the last day posted the fourth-lowest round of the day. That will give them a lot of confidence knowing they can compete and beat a lot of the top West Coast golf programs. We just need to work on putting all three rounds together."
Eli McNelly led the scoring for the Eagles with a best round of 70 (-2). McNelly finished out his week at 218 (+2), finishing in a T-36 and having another solid tournament this season.
Cal Anderson continued to shoot well in his second tournament, finishing just behind McNelly. Anderson shot two rounds of 71 (-1) and finished at 219 (+3). Hogan Park finished at 219 (+3) and a T-44 with Anderson.
Brigham Young University shot a (-37) and claimed the team title. BYU was assisted by Peter Kim, who finished T-1st with 202 (-14).
