After the first round, junior Enrique Marin sat comfortably tied for third out of 130 golfers. The junior had fired a 4-under 68 in the first, but a slump-round in the third culminated in a 1-under, 25th-place overall tie for Marin over the weekend at the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate in Palm Desert, California.
In a 23-team field featuring three of the country’s top-25 (Texas Tech – Ninth, California – 19th, UCLA – 21st), the Idaho men’s golf team managed a tie for 19th with an aggregate 35-over 899, just two strokes back of in-state competitor, Boise State.
Marin’s 68 matches his best round of his career, and the third below-70 round of his career.
