Bingham Fires Final-Round 69 to Lead Thunderbirds at Pacific Invitational

STOCKTON, Calif. - Braylon Bingham fired a three-under 69 Wednesday to lead Southern Utah men's golf during the final round of the Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational at The Reserve at Spanos Park.

Bingham's 69 was the lowest round of the tournament for Southern Utah, helping him climb into a tie for 32nd at three-over 219 (76-74-69). The junior improved his score in each round, shaving seven strokes off his opening-round 76.

The Thunderbirds finished 18th at 41-over 905 (307-299-299). Southern Utah followed its opening-round 307 with consecutive rounds of 299, improving by eight strokes in the second round and maintaining that score in Wednesday's finale.

Host Pacific captured the team championship at 20-under 844, followed by Nevada at 16-under 848 and San Francisco at 12-under 852.

Head Coach Richard Church said:

"Braylon gave us a really good round today, and it was great to see him finish the tournament on such a positive note. He continued to improve throughout the event and put together a strong final round. As a team, we were more consistent over the final two rounds, but we know we have work to do to get where we want to be. We will take the positives from this week, learn from the things that challenged us and keep working to improve."
