Last time out at the Bill Cullum Invitational:

Uy Doan led the Thunderbirds, finishing tied for 10th at 224 (+8). Doan opened the tournament with a solid 73 and closed strong with another 73 in the final round, providing SUU with its top individual finish of the event. Doan had an eagle in the first round and two birdies in the final round that led to the quality 73's.

Charlie Gillespie followed closely behind, tying for 16th at 226 (+10). Gillespie posted consistent rounds of 76, 76, and 74. Gillespie used seven birdies and an eagle to turn in the +10 finish.

Braylon Bingham placed tied for 24th at 228 (+12) with three rounds of 76, while Luke Barnes finished tied for 46th at 234 (+18). Barnes turned in the low round of the tournament for the Thunderbirds, an extremely steady round of even-par 73 that consisted of three birdies and three bogeys.

Jing-Cheng (Jarell) Wang rounded out the team scoring with a 238 (+22), highlighted by a 77 in the opening round.

Colton Cherry and Boston Dixon competed as individuals and finished T56 and 63rd, respectively.

Competing against a strong field that included several West Coast programs, the Thunderbirds put together a balanced team performance and secured a top-five finish, gaining valuable momentum as the spring season continues.

The Thunderbirds combined for 30 birdies and two eagles through 54 holes of competition.
