Toledo's Botha battles stomach illness, slides down to 57th at NCAA golf regional

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Struggling with a stomach illness throughout the majority of his round, Toledo senior Barend Botha shot a seven-over par 79, dropping him into a tie for 57th place in the second round of the NCAA men’s golf regional at Purdue’s Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex Kampen Course on Tuesday.

He had been in a tie for 17th after round one.

Botha, competing for UT as an individual entrant at the regional, shot a four-over on the front nine, then he was hurt by a rough three-hole stretch after making the turn.

At the par-5 10th hole, Botha registered a triple bogey.
