Bryant ties for fifth to lead the CSU effort
TUCSON, Ariz.  – Colorado State shot its best round of the tournament in the final 18 and finished sixth at the 2021 Mountain West Championship Saturday. The two-day, 54-hole event is being played at Omni Tucson National Resort Catalina Course (Par 72 – 7,194 yards) in Tucson, Ariz.
Â
The Rams entered the final round in sixth and remained there after posting a 6-under 282 to finish at even-par 864 for the tournament. Â New Mexico and Nevada tied for the conference title at 19-under 845 and went to a team playoff, where UNM won with a 2-over team score as compared to Nevada's 3-over. San Diego State and UNLV tied for third at 14-under 850, with Boise State in fifth at 3-under 851.
Â
Davis Bryant was in the hunt for medalist honors throughout the final round, getting to 9-under overall at one point in the back nine. However, a late stumble had him shoot a 2-under 70 for the day and finish at 6-under 210, one shot out of a four-way playoff for the individual title. AJ Ott tied for 17th at 2-under 214, while Rasmus Hjelm also shot a 2-under 70 and tied for 29th at 3-over 219. Parathakorn Suyasri tied for 34th at 6-over 222, while Oscar Teiffel finished 48th at 12-over 228. San Diego State's Puwit Anupansuebsai won the medalist honor in a four-way playoff with a birdie on the second playoff hole.
Â
"Davis was so close to taking home the win," head coach Christian Newton said. "He will learn from the experience and will be ready at the next opportunity. It looks like AJ will have a shot to advance to the NCAA Regionals as an individual to continue his stellar career. As a team, we just didn't get it done this week or this spring. I look forward to the challenge starting again next fall."
Â
NCAA Regional teams and individual qualifiers will be announced on Wednesday, May 5 on Golf Channel at 12 pm MT.
