Golf Update – Moving Up The Rankings and Stone Canyon
Tommy let me know that he and the team have moved up in the men’s rankings on Golfstat. Pima is now ranked 9th and Tommy is sitting at 11th! Nice! He had a near win where he was tied for 1st heading into the last hole, but came up short. Then he just won a tournament outright. It just shows his hard work and dedication is paying off. Plus with his First Team Academic All-American honor while studying engineering, hopefully we’ll see him golfing at the NCAA D1 level next year!
Meanwhile, he was able to play at the private club of Stone Canyon with his co-workers from Tucson Country Club. Courses down there are unreal!
First Win!
Yay!!! Tommy won his first college golf tournament this week! He shot a 65 (6 under par). Apparently rattlesnakes are a common part of the golfing experience in Arizona!
Win at Park U Fall Shootout at Las Colinas Golf Course in Queen Creek, AZ
Tommy got his first win in college. He recently came close when he was tied for the lead at one point and needed a birdie to t1 on the last hole which was a par 5. He pulled the win out this time, plus, he won it outright. The tournament was a smaller, one-day, off-season tournament, but his score was still amazing. He shot a 65 (-6) on a course he’d never played/practiced, nine birdies and 3 bogeys.
