ALAMEDA, Calif. –
Christian Schrodt saved his best for last as he led Dominican men's golf to a 14th place finish at the Time Tierney Pioneer Shootout at Corica Park Golf Course.
Cal State Monterey Bay won the team title as it recorded three straight rounds under par to finish at 18 under, six strokes ahead of Cal State San Bernardino. The Penguins finished at 36 over par to finish 14th, ahead of PacWest foes Academy of Art and Chaminade while trailing Hawaii Pacific by two strokes.
Schrodt was unblemished on his final day sinking three birdies to go with 15 pars, the second bogey-free round of his Dominican career after first accomplishing the feat in second round of the Saint Martin's Invite in the fall. Schrodt moved up five spots into a tie for eighth at 5 under par, the lowest score among PacWest participants.
Josh Morris continued a remarkably consistent tournament with his third consecutive round of 3-over 75 as he also moved up five spots into a tie for 55th at 9 over par.
Matt Fry had a remarkable front nine finishing at 1 over while recording his lowest score of the tournament with a 76. His efforts moved him into a tie for 77th at 14 over par.
Christopher Steib equaled Fry on the front nine at 1 over while finishing the day with a 7-over 79 to move into a tie for 86th at 18 over par.
Sam Nielsen matched Steib in the final round with a 79 of his own, moving up a spot on the final leaderboard into a tie for 91st at 23 over par.
Benjamin Gould competed as an individual but flashed his skill as he shot a 1 under on the front nine and finished the day with a 5-over 77 to move into a tie for 75th in the field of 95 golfers.
