"The guys were determined to shoot under par today as a team, "BYU Director of Golf Todd Miller said. "They were very close to getting it done. It was one of our best team scores of the year on a tough course. Patrick (Fishburn) didn't have his best tournament, but he found a way to shoot some good scores. I was proud of the way Spencer (Dunaway) bounced back after shooting 80 the first round."

Fishburn finished the tournament at even par. He shot three-under-par in the first round, four-over-par in the second and shot one-under-par in Round 3.

The Cougars placed 12th overall. The team shot a total score of 896 (+32) through the tournament’s two days of play. BYU shot 291 today, its lowest round of the event. The Cougars were close to shooting under par today as the team was two-under-par with three holes left in today's round. BYU finished the round at three-over-par.
