by TUCSON, Ariz. – The first tournament of the spring is in the books for NM State men’s golf. With a fourteenth place finish, NM State has plenty of room to continue to improve throughout a tough spring season.
After concluding the suspended second round, the Aggies looked to make a splash in Tuesday’s final round. In the extended second round, NM State shot 291.
As a team, NM State shot a 296 in the third round. Garrison Smith shot an even 72 in the final round to lead the charge for NM State. Right behind smith, Aidan Thomas fired a 73 (+1) and Javier Delgadillo posted a 74 (+2). On holes 10-12, Delgadillo pieced together three consecutive birdies – The longest stretch by an Aggie on the day.
Against a loaded field of competition that resembles a NCAA postseason field, NM State held its own. Following the Arizona Thunderbirds Intercollegiate, the Aggies will head to Laredo, Texas on February 13 and 14 for the Border Olympics, hosted by Houston.
