PALO ALTO, Calif.--UH Hilo improved five strokes on the third and final day of The Goodwin men's golf tournament at the Stanford University Golf Course.
The Vulcans held steady in the 27th spot with a three-day score of 299-299-294 (+52).
Andrew Otani had UHH's best round on Saturday with an even-par 70.
Keith Ng had the Vulcans' best overall tally with a +2 scorecard of 212 (67-74-71).
Dustin Franko was next at +8 (71-71-76), followed by Otani (82-77-70) who closed fast to end up at +19.
Noah Lau (79-79-77) and
Nicholas Gomez (82-77-80) were the other Vulcans on the scoreboard.
Unlike the first two days of the tournament, the front half of the field started in the afternoon. At press time, with some players and teams still having to play 5-6 holes to complete play, the team trophy was going to come down to a battle between No. 9 nationally ranked University of Washington and No. 14 Stanford. SMU and Nevada were also still in contention. For medalist honors, UC Davis' Lucas Cooper was already in the clubhouse with a -12 for the tournament and Sampson Zheng of UC Berkeley was also done for the three rounds at -11. Still on the course but in contention were Peyton Callens (Nevada) at -11 and Noah Goodwin (SMU) at -9. Both were through 13 holes.
