SAN FRANCISCO – California Baptist University finished eighth at perhaps its most challenging tournament field of the season at the Olympic Club Intercollegiate on Tuesday.
Three Lancers finished in the top-35 of the 72-golfer event, as the team ended the three-round tournament with a 301 on Tuesday to give it an 887 total on the week (293-293-301). Five teams in attendance at The Olympic Club were ranked in Golfstat's NCAA Division I top-100.
Fifty-fifth ranked Nevada won the tournament with an 849, while No. 79 Cal State Fullerton took second (850) and No. 102 Santa Clara (862) finished third. Host and No. 52 San Francisco and 28th-ranked Brigham Young tied for fourth (868), while No. 83 UC Davis (873) and Loyola Marymount (879) rounded out the top seven.
Nevada's Sam Meek won the individual tournament title with a four-under-par 209, while the top-five finishers came in at 211. Harrison Kinglsey logged his third-straight individual top-15 finish by shooting 216 (69-74-73) on the week. The true freshman matched Ben Hallam for a team-best 73 on Tuesday.
Hallam has not finished outside the top-29 of any of his seven tournaments this season. The senior kept the streak alive by taking 17th in San Francisco with a 217 (74-70-73). Ryan Monsalve took 35th in the field with a 223 (75-71-77).
CBU earned head-to-head wins over Pacific (ninth, 892); the Western Athletic Conference's Seattle U (10th, 894); Cal State Monterey Bay (11th, 896); Sacramento State (12th, 904) and Cal Poly (13th, 916).
Connor Benjamin was CBU's final scorer with a 78 in the third round. Benjamin finished 60th on the leaderboard with a 233 (77-78-78), while John Hayes placed 67th (235).
After playing in tournaments the last three weeks, the Lancers have the next two off. CBU will play the Seattle U Redhawk Invitational April 1-2 and then UC Santa Barbara's Sandpiper Intercollegiate April 15-16 before taking part in its first-ever Western Athletic Conference Championships April 27-29.
