Geniza, Gronlund Turn in Top-10 Finishes in Bandon
03/12/19 | Men's Golf
BANDON, Ore. – Kevin Geniza turned in his best career finish, coming in tied for third, while Ryan Gronlund finished tied for ninth to lead Oregon as it wrapped up the Bandon Dunes Championship Tuesday at the Bandon Dunes Course. The Ducks came in ninth as a team, finishing the event 27 over after going 12 over in the final round.
How it Happened: Geniza got off to a strong start, making birdies at holes seven and nine after starting with a par on six to get to 2 under. He stumbled a bit after that, however, bogeying four of his next five holes to fall to 2 over on the day. Geniza recovered nicely though, making birdies at three of his last six holes to finish with a 1-under 71.
Freshman Yin Ho Yue capped off a solid week with a 2-over 74. He birdied his opening hole before bogeying two of his next three to drop to 1 over. He made a birdie and a bogey in his final 15 holes to finish tied for 16th.
Gronlund struggled out of the gates, starting double bogey, bogey at six and seven to drop to 3 over. He made two birdies and two bogeys on the back nine, making par on his final seven holes to finish with a 3-over 75.
Thomas Mulligan shot a 5-over 77 to finish tied for 62nd and Craig Ronne also shot 77, coming in tied for 68th.
Utah won the team title at 12 over while the Utes' Blake Tomlinson took home individual medalist honors with a one-shot victory.
