SAN FRANCISCO — The University of Colorado men’s golf team capped off a week on the west coast hereSaturday with a 12th place finish in Stanford’s “The Goodwin.”
No. 13 Oklahoma rallied to overtake No. 11 Georgia Tech for the team title, as the Sooners finished with an 18-under 822 score; Tech had led by one stroke heading into Saturday’s final round and would finish at 12-under 828. Host and No. 8 Stanford claimed the bronze spot with a 1-under 839, with San Francisco fourth (841) and California and San Diego tying for fifth (842).
Colorado, ranked No. 51, basically had a similar effort for third straight day, closing with a 6-over 286 that pushed its 54-hole total to 14-over 854 and the 12th place finish. The 28-team field was comprised of 14 top 75 schools and 18 of the top 100; CU defeated eight of those, including two in the top 40 (Little Rock and BYU).
Sophomore Dylan McDermott led the way for the Buffaloes for the sixth time this season, as he finished with a 2-under 68 that gave him a 5-under 205 overall, good for a fourth place finish. He had a team-high five birdies and 10 pars Saturday, which gave him nine and 38, respectively, for the meet, along with an eagle. He played the par-3 holes at even, the 10th-best in the 155-player field, and the par-5’s tied for the eighth-best at 1-under. His 38 pars tied for the 17th-most as well on the 6,939-yard, par-70 TPC at Harding Park course, just two hours southwest of his native Granite Bay.
It was the 13th time in school history a player scored three rounds in the 60s in the same tournament, of which just four players accomplished here. McDermott also did it in the season opener in the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Classic when he claimed medalist honors; in doing so, he joined Yannik Paul as the only player to do it twice (Paul’s pair included four rounds in the 60s in the 2018 Pac-12 Championships).
Sophomore Justin Biwer closed with a 1-under 69, moving him up 25 spots in the final standings into a tie for 40th with a 3-over 213. He had five birdies and nine pars with four bogeys in a most interesting day: he made birdies on three of the toughest four holes in the final round, the par-5 10th and the par-4s 12th and 13th; there were a combined 28 birdies on those three holes out of 465 tries Saturday (including just seven on No. 18). He had a team-high 11 birdies for the week, tied for 15th-most in the event.
