The College of Idaho golf teams recently completed a two-day tournament at The Bandy at Lake Powell, hosted by Arizona Christian University. The men's team finished at plus-25, while the women's squad ended at plus-83. Lucas Rynearson led the men's team with a sixth-place finish at one over par, and Reece Garey and Lauryn Bulger tied for seventh on the women's side at plus-12. Notably, Drisan Booth made a significant comeback with a round of 70, the second-lowest of the tournament.

By the Numbers
  • Men's team finished at +25, scoring 11-over in round one and 14-over in round two.
  • Women's team scored +83, with scores of 33-over and 50-over for the respective rounds.
  • Lucas Rynearson had 9 birdies across the two rounds.
  • Drisan Booth shot a remarkable 70 in round two, the second-lowest score of the day.
Yes, But

Despite strong individual performances, both teams struggled with overall scores, particularly the women's team, which posted significantly higher totals than most competitors. This raises questions about their consistency and ability to compete at higher levels.

State of Play
  • The Yotes men's team has shown improvement but needs to focus on reducing overall scores.
  • The women's team will need to work on their gameplay strategy to improve from their past tournament results.
What's Next

The College of Idaho teams will next compete at the Warner Pacific Invitational on April 13 and 14 in Portland, Oregon, where they hope to build on recent performances and improve their standings.

Bottom Line

The recent tournament highlights both individual skill and areas for team improvement, underscoring the need for strategic adjustments going forward. Consistency is key for both squads to enhance their competitive edge in upcoming events.
