The Cougars posted a 23-over par in the final round which dropped them into sixth-place finish at 903 (+39). Tournament champion Colorado State finished at 890 (+26), while Denver (+32), Northern Colorado (+32), North Dakota State (+37) and Long Beach State (+38) rounded out the top-5.

“It was great to see Goyen and Jones play some great golf as individuals,” said BYU Director of Golf Todd Miller. Tied for 17th is a nice finish for Zac in his first collegiate event.”
Elijah Turner had the highlight of the day with a double-eagle two on the par-5 16th hole. The junior from Highland, Utah, had rounds of rounds 84-80-75—239.
The Cougars next travel to Reno, Nevada, for the Nevada Wolfpack Invitational at Hidden Valley Country Club on October 11-12.
