The BYU men’s golf team played 30 holes on Tuesday to finish up a wet and rainy tournament in Dallas at the Baylor Intercollegiate.

The team finished 11th out of 12 teams after shooting a +35 (887) in its worst finish of the year so far.

The Cougars were led by freshman Zach Blair who had an 8 over par score, good for 30th in individual rankings. Blair had 7 birdies in the tournament. Junior Esteban Calisto was right behind him with a 9 over par and tied for 36th overall. Calisto recorded an eagle on the par-5 fifth hole, the only eagle the Cougars had in the tournament.

No. 9 Texas A&M went home as tournament champions after finishing strong in the final round by shooting –11 and an overall –4. SMU finished right behind them at –1 and, along with A&M, was one of only two teams to finish the tournament under par.

For the Cougars, there was not much separation among the scores as a team. Robbie Fillmore finished +11 and had an impressive second round, birdying 6 of 9 holes on the back nine to finish 2 over par. Jordan Rodgers shot +13 but was most noted for his third round play, shooting 4-under par, the field’s third best score of the round. He birdied 6 holes and only had one bogey on the round. Alton Anderson finished +16 and had a strong third round at 1-over par.

The team does not have as much time off from their next tournament as they travel to the West coast to play in the Pacific Invitational on Nov. 2-4 in California.
