PROVO, Utah- Hugo Townsend recorded his third top-five finish of the season to lead Boise State men’s golf to a fifth-place finish at the 57th-annual Cougar Classic at Riverside Country Club.
The Broncos (278-295-292—864) finished the tournament 1-over par, tied with Nevada and Utah Valley for a share of fifth place. Inclement weather played a role as a rain delay took effect midway through the first round, Friday. Teams resumed play later in the afternoon and finished half of the second round before dark. Rounds two and three were completed Saturday.
Townsend (65-73-69-207) combined to shoot 10-under par in his first and third rounds, finishing the tournament fourth at 9-under. Townsend logged his 18th-straight top-25 finish and became the second Bronco all time to eclipse 30 such finishes in a career, joining Graham DeLaet (2001-04, 2005-06).
Max Charles (72-76-69—217) shot 3-under in the final round to finish tied for 27th, while Skyler Eubank (70-74-79—223) and Alex Talbot (71-75-77—223) each shot 7-over to tie for 49th. Drew Reinke (74-73-77—224) came in at 53rd to round out the lineup for Boise State, while Connor Higgins (77-80-72—229) tied his lowest round of his career in the third round while competing as to individual.
Up next for Boise State is the Mountain West Championships in Bremerton, Wash. The event will be played at Gold Mountain Olympic and will take place April 29-May 1.
