BREMERTON, Wash. - Seattle U men's golf completed play at the Husky Invitational on Tuesday, finishing tied for 13th out of 16 teams in its opening tournament of the 2021-22 season. The Redhawks posted a team score of 12-over, with their best round of 291 coming in the first and second round. The two-day event took place at Gold Mountain Golf Club on the 7,155 yards course with a par of 72.
Senior Jack Rahon posted two consecutive scores of 68 that helped him to finish the tournament in fourth place with a three-round total of 209 (68-68-73). Rahon performed well on the par four and five, posting an average of 3.90 and 4.58, respectively, and finished with the second most made birdies at 15.
"I'm so proud of Jack and excited for everyone to see what I've known for so long, that he is a superstar," said Head Coach Marc Chandonnet. "He has really matured nicely these last couple of years and competed like a champion this week. This is a huge step in acquiring more confidence that is necessary to compete at the next level and I want to thank him for trusting in my ideas and giving them a chance. I know his teammates are very close behind and when we all compete at our best we can play at a high level."
The next best Redhawk was senior Federico Gutierrez (75-73-73), while fellow senior Nathan Cogswell (78-74-72) was just three strokes behind him and improved each round. Sophomore Blake Kukula (72-78-76) was the lone Redhawk to score an eagle, while freshman Liam Gill rounds out the team score with a three-round total of 229 (76-76-77).
Senior Harrison Murphy (72-78-72) and junior Alex Fowke (81-78-71) competed as individuals, posting three-round totals of 222 and 230, respectively.
The Redhawks will have six days to recover before they head to Fresno, Calif., to compete in the Nick Watney Invitational at the San Joaquin Country Club.
