Blair Wins First Tournament of the Season

Day 1 Recap

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. –In a tournament that saw the majority of the Cougars struggle, Zac Blair stole the show with a 7-under finish to win the William H. Tucker Intercollegiate on Saturday.

After day one Blair led the field and finished strong with a 2-under in the final round to win his first tournament of the season. The win marks the second time in Blair’s career that he has won a tournament.

While Blair excelled, the rest of BYU struggled on the final day to find the cup. The last round saw the rest of the Cougars shoot a 16-over, dropping the team to sixth place.

Freshman Devon Purser and McCoy Willey showed promise, finishing 31^st and 39^th, the two next best places behind Blair. Freshman Patrick Fishburn also finished 31^st while playing as an individual.

The Cougars will return to action on Oct. 10 when they host Cougar Day at Riverside Country Club.
