Despite this setback, golfers Charlie Hanson and Ryan Nutter delivered solid individual performances on the demanding course. Participating as individuals only, both players showcased resilience, with Hanson finishing as the top Cougar in a competitive field.

By the Numbers
  • Charlie Hanson: T-40 with a score of +17 (77-77-79=233)
  • Ryan Nutter: T-67 with a score of +25 (80-81-80=241)
State of Play
  • Workout conditions included a 6,889-yard, par-72 course with challenging greens.
