Dawgs Tie For Day’s Low Round, Move Into Third At Blessings Collegiate

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The third-ranked Washington men’s golf team posted the low round of the day on Tuesday at the Blessings Collegiate Invitational moving up to third at on-over par for the tournament.
 
Washington shot a seven-under 281 on the day, a 15-shot improvement over its first round score and tied with Mississippi State for the best round put up on Tuesday at Blessings Golf Club.
 
“We didn’t have our best outing yesterday so it was great to see the guys respond the way they did today,” head coach Alan Murray said.
 
True freshman Finn Koelle posted UW’s best round, firing a five-under 67 to match North Texas’ Diego Prone for the low round of the day. Koelle sits at one-over overall, tied for 16^th.
 
“It was a great round by Finn,” Murray said. “He managed his game really well today, which was impressive to see from a freshman.”
 
Carding four birdies with a single bogey, Petr Hruby’s 69 was good to move into a tie for sixth at the tournament at one-under.
 
“Petr was really steady with a very good score and with a little better play on the greens it could have been even better,” Murray said.
 
After carding a double bogey on his first hole of the day, Teddy Lin responded without a bogey the rest of the way, mixing in three birdies to tie for 18^th at two-over for the tournament. Bo Peng and Taehoon Song are tied for 23^rd at four-over.
 
With inclement weather forecasted in the Fayetteville, tee times for the third and final round of the Blessings Collegiate have been moved up. UW is set to tee off at 7 a.m. PT on hole number one.
