5/17/2023 9:44:00 PM | Men's Golf
LAS VEGAS – The Lehigh men's golf team completed its championship 2022-23 season with the final round of the Las Vegas Regional Wednesday at Bear's Best Las Vegas. The Mountain Hawks shot five over par 593 for the second straight day and finish the three-day 54-hole regional at 16 over par 880 (594-593-593).
Â
For the second consecutive day, players dealt with a lightning-related weather delay with Wednesday's lasting 91 minutes.
Â
Senior Daniel Song was the low Mountain Hawk over 54 holes, finishing in a tie for 49th place at one under par 215 (73-66-76). The Patriot League champion was even through nine holes on Wednesday with a pair of birdies, before playing four over on the back nine. Song finishes his senior season with two wins and a runner-up finish to his credit. His second-round 66 marked the low round of his Lehigh career.
Â
For the second time in three days, senior Sam Barton delivered Lehigh's low round. On Wednesday, Barton shot one under par 71 and finished in a tie for 66th at 221 (69-81-71). Barton carded five birdies Wednesday, and was ultimately done in by one bad hole in Tuesday's second round.
Â
Senior David Hurly birdied three of his first six holes on Wednesday and was four over par on the back nine in his round of 75. Hurly tied for 69th place at 223 (76-72-75).
Â
Sophomore Aidan Oehrle had a team-best 12 pars Wednesday and added a pair of birdies in a round of two over par 74. Oerhle's second straight 74 followed an opening round 76 as he finishes in 71st place at 224.
Â
Junior Edmund Broderick was reinserted into the Lehigh lineup and delivered the second lowest round of the day for the Mountain Hawks, at one over par 73. Broderick made three birdies and added an eagle in his final round. He paired the 73 with an opening round 76. First-year Jake Roth stepped in and shot 82 in round two for the brown and white.
Â
Top seed and fourth-ranked Arizona State edged Pac-12 rival Stanford 805-807 to win the regional. Both teams advanced to the NCAA Championships, later this month in Scottsdale, Ariz., along with Virginia, San Francisco and East Tennessee State.
Â
Virginia's Ben James and San Francisco's Matthew Anderson tied for top individual honors at 20 under par 196. Oklahoma State's Jonas Baumgartner also advanced to the NCAA Championships as the top individual not on one of the top five teams.
Â
The Las Vegas Regional capped an impressive 2022-23 season for the Mountain Hawks, who won four team championships in tournament play, including Lehigh's fourth Patriot League Championship title and first since 2013.
