Lamar Posts Best Round Since 2007 NCAAs To Finish 7th At Baylor Intercollegiate

[Guest coachacola]

[quote] Led by season low rounds from sophomore MJ Daffue and freshman Pierre-Alexis Rolland, the Lamar men's golf team finished seventh at the Baylor Intercollegiate following a 276 for its lowest round in three years.

The Cardinals found themselves in tenth place following the completion of the second round, but rallied down the stretch to conclude the day at 5-under with a season-best 54-hole score of 874. LU's jump from tenth to seventh was the largest by any team in the field. Only tournament champion Texas A&M and runner-up SMU had lower single-round totals over the entire 12-team field as they shot 273 and 275, respectively over the final 18. [/quote]

LU finished 2 strokes behind #50 ranked Arkansas and 1 stroke ahead of #4 Texas.  Head coach Brian White has a young team here, Hugues Joannes is the only senior on the team.  This is a rebuilding year but they have a lot of potential.  I like how the golf team is always playing against the best teams in the country.
