Hey Everyone,
Before we get to Masters week, let’s put a bow on last week’s competitions. A few tough missed cuts for some professional men, but Megan Khang had a nice week at the tough Shadow Creek.
A couple of college events finished up this week, and a few are in progress, with more starting later in the week. We’re nearing the conference championship section of the schedule before the national championships.
Texas Open: The two Bay State golfers in the field missed the 2-under par cut. Michael Thorbjornsen shot 70-74 (E). Davis Chatfield was agonizingly close again, shooting 72-71 (-1) to miss another cut by a razor-thin margin. He made on his 9th and 10th holes and then couldn’t make a birdie coming home, recording eight straight pars. I wrote a bit about Chatfield’s first 8 starts on the PGA Tour below. Results
LECOM Suncoast Championship: Rob Oppenheim shot 71-73 (+2) and missed the cut by five shots. Frenchman Jeremy Gandon won the tournament. Results
Aramco at Shadow Creek: Megan Khang shot 77-73-76-75 (+13) and finished T51 at a very challenging Shadow Creek. Only four players finished under par. Lauren Coughlin won by five shots with a winning score of 7-under par. Nelly Korda recorded her third straight runner-up. Results
College
Mason Rudolph Championship: Ryan Downes (Longmeadow, Mass.) helped Vanderbilt finish second behind Auburn. Downes finished in 5th place, eight shots behind the winner, Jackson Koivun, who won his ninth college event and is the top ranked amateur in the world. John Broderick (Wellesley, Mass.) played for the Vanderbilt second team in the home event and finished T40. Joey Lenane (Dedham, Mass.) finished T25 competing for NC State, and Trevor Drew (Tyngsboro, Mass.) finished in 72nd for Western Kentucky. Scoring
Augusta Haskins Award Invitational: Max McColgan (Lincoln, Mass.) of St. John’s University finished 76th. Scoring
