PHOENIX, Ariz. — Senior Dane Bagnell and sophomore Joe Alldis finished in a tie for 20th place among individuals to lead Cal State San Bernardino’s men’s golf team to a sixth-place finish Tuesday in the 19-team Grand Canyon Thunderbird Invitational at Palm Valley Country Club.
Bagnell rebounded from an opening round 80 to shot 69 and 70, five-under-par for his final 36 holes to finish at 219 for 54 holes, the same as teammate Alldis who suffered through a first-round 78 and then posted rounds of 69 and 72 to finish with the same 219 score.
The Coyotes team shot the second lowest final round of any team in the tournament, a collective 284, to move up from eighth place after Monday’s first 36 holes.
Gene Webster and Micah Burke each closed with one-under-par 71s and Bill Clayton was one-over at 73, one of the tightest groupings the team has experience all season. Webster wound up tied for 22nd place at 220, a stroke back of Bagnell and Alldis while Burke and Clayton tied at 222 for 54 holes.
Alldis was six under par on the par-5s while Webster was three-under on the par-4s in the event. Bagnell had 12 birdies, only two fewer than the leader in that category.
Wayland Baptist University won the tournament at 845, four shots ahead of second-round leader Central Oklahoma with host Grand Canyon third. Medalist honors went to Kevin Stinson of Wayland Baptist who shot a sizzling eight-under 64 on Tuesday to finish at 205, 11 under par for the event, played on the par-72, 7,015-yard Palm Valley layout.
