PROVO, Utah -- Thanks to a rare late April snow storm, Saturday's final round of the PING Cougar Classic was cancelled. Because of the cancellation, BYU earns its first tournament victory of the season finishing in a three-way tie with Colorado State and Nevada at seven-under-par.
The Cougars finished one stroke ahead of ninth-ranked Fresno State. Nick Watney of Fresno State earned the individual championship finishing 10-under-par (68-66-134). He was followed by teammate Jonathan Echols, who finished seven-under-par.
The top Cougar finisher was Freshman Nick Becker, who competed as an individual and was not counted into BYU's final team score. Becker shot 68-73--141 three-under-par for his best career finish in seventh place. Two other freshmen, Greg Machtaler and Ron Harvey Jr. led the Cougar team both finishing in a tie for ninth place at two-under-par. Six Cougars finished in the top 16 individually including Kyle Wight who tied for 14th at one-under-par and Manuel Merizalde and Devin Heid who both ended even par and tied for 16th.
With the victory, the Cougars solidified their position to qualify for the NCAA West Regional in Albuquerque, New Mexico on May 17-19. The Cougars should enter as the fifth seed in district VII. BYU will now focus on bringing home their second-consecutive Mountain West Conference championship on April 29-May 1 in Sunriver, Oregon.
