The Blinn College men’s golf team placed seventh at the Waco River Classic on Tuesday at the Bear Ridge Golf Course in Waco, Texas.
The Buccaneers shot 43-over par across three rounds of play.
McClennan Community College outlasted 12 other teams to win the team title at 6-over.
Sophomoreย Jaxson Danieleย finished in 43rd place individually and shot 12-over to lead the Bucs. Freshmanย Brody Horsakย was 13-over for 45th place; sophomoreย Ben Potterย was 14-over for 51st; and sophomoreย Cody Petersย and freshmanย Broc Talamantezย each carded a 17-over for a 62nd-place tie.
“We talk all of the time about being consistent in our scoring, but we played up and down during our three rounds,” Blinn head coach David Johnson said. “We’re always aiming to eliminate high numbers, but we struggled a little with that this time around.”
Along with McLennan, Blinn competed among some of the top teams in NJCAA Division I men’s golf, including Midland College, Weatherford College, Hutchinson Community College, and Tyler Junior College.
“This tournament gave us an idea of where we are right now and how much we need to improve,” Johnson said. “We learned some good things about ourselves and we’ll be ready to go in Jacksonville.”
Blinn’s season continues at the two-day Jacksonville College Invitational beginning Monday, Sept. 29, at Cherokee Ranch Golf Club in Jacksonville, Texas.ย
Blinn has competed in intercollegiate athletics since 1903 and captured 53ย national championships since 1987.
