Purdue men’s golf’s season ended over the weekend at the NCAA Championships. Boilers finished 30th.
“The story, however, of round three was junior Kent Hsiao, who fired a weekend-best, 2-under par 70 to finish his tournament in a 34th-place tie at 5-over par 221 (74-77-70). Hsiao played the back nine in 1-under par and had a chance on 18 to be part of a 4-player playoff on Monday morning to gain a spot in the fourth round, but his 10-foot birdie putt just slipped by, ending his NCAA Championships run. His round of 70 was the ninth-best score in round three. His 34th-place finish was Purdue’s highest individual placing in the NCAA Championships since 2004 (Shiv Kapur)” – Purdue Sports
Herman Sekne, one of the most accomplished Purdue golfers in history finished 95th.
It was a great season for the men. They won 2 tourneys in the fall and placed 3rd or better in every spring tourney except 1. The Boilers took home 3rd at the Big Ten Championships, and a strong 2nd in the regionals.
