PHOENIX —Four University of Colorado men’s golfers wrapped up competition here Tuesday as the inaugural Arizona State Papago Individual came to a close.
Junior Frederik Eisenbeis led the Buffaloes overall, as he tied for 20th with an 8-over 221 scorecard after recording a final round 76 on the 7,551-yard, par-71 Papago Golf Course layout. He made the turn even and was in position to crack the top 10, but ran into trouble as he bogeyed No. 10 and then double bogeyed No. 12, both par-4s. He had one birdie for the round (six for the event) and 12 pars, with his 35 pars overall tying for the eighth-most in the 34-man field.
While the weather was perfect, the pin placements for the final round were very tough and the greens were firm and fast, leading scores to increase over two strokes on the average than Monday’s second round.
Junior Tucker Clark was unfazed by the challenge, as he tied for 24th after turning in the best round by a Buff here this week, finishing with a 1-under 70 for a 9-over 222 scorecard. He had three birdies and 13 pars with two bogeys on his day, as his 70 tied for the third-best score in the final round, with just two players barely besting it (one 68, one 69). He had six birdies and 33 pars all told, the latter tying for 12th-most in the field. He played the par-4s at 3-over, tied for ninth-best.
Freshman Ty Holbrook fashioned a 3-over 74, his best round here, as he tied for 27th with a 12-over 225 score. He had three birdies and 10 pars against four bogeys and a double to finish up, with his 10 birdies overall the most by a Buffalo (and tying for the ninth-most in the field). Like Clark, he played the par-3s and par-5s even Tuesday, and was 3-under on the latter for the two days.
Sophomore Robby Keilch had his struggles in the final round as he closed with a 13-over 84 that tied him for 30th with an 18-over 231 total. After matching par in the second round, he never got going Tuesday as he bogeyed three of his first five holes and had to count two triples and a quadruple bogey. He closed with a single bogey (seven for the meet) with 10 pars (30 overall).
Arizona State’s Gabriel Salvanera earned medalist honors, as he led wire-to-wire in winning with a 12-under par score of 201; he finished up with an even-par 71 Tuesday to defeat Texas Tech’s Ben Gregg by six strokes.
