Guillaume Paquette of St. Mary's University showcased his talent by finishing fourth at the Lone Star Conference Championship, earning All-Tournament honors. He recorded a three-round total of 219, contributing to the team's fifth-place finish with 901 strokes. Despite a strong effort, the No. 9-ranked Rattlers fell short of qualifying for Medal Match play, trailing the leaders by 11 strokes. Notable performances included Hallstrom's climb to 13th and Kaikaew's tie for 17th, while the team awaits potential selection for the NCAA Regional.

By the Numbers
  • Paquette scored 219 strokes (76-71-72), finishing fourth overall.
  • The Rattlers finished fifth with a total of 901 strokes (308-297-296), 11 strokes behind the leaders.
Yes, But

Although Paquette's performance highlights individual success, the team's failure to secure a top-four spot reflects challenges in maintaining consistent performance as a unit.

State of Play
  • The Rattlers will soon find out if they qualify for the NCAA West/South Central Regional in May.
  • UT Tyler, with a tournament low of 293 in the final round, clinched the first-place spot, leading the advancing teams.
What's Next

If selected, St. Mary's will compete in the NCAA West/South Central Regional, which could provide an opportunity for redemption and further showcase their talent on a national stage.

Bottom Line

The Rattlers' recent performance underscores both individual excellence and collective challenges, highlighting the need for stronger teamwork moving forward to succeed in future competitions.
