| By:

WSU concluded the regular season with a 12th-place finish at the El Macero Classic.

EL MACERO, Calif. – Washington State men's golf moved up one spot Sunday to finish 12th at the El Macero Classic hosted by UC Davis at El Macero Country Club. 

"This was a good test in all aspects of the game for the guys," WSU head coach Dustin White said. "Each guy contributed at least one round and found a way to put a score together. It also showed us where we need to spend time working before we leave for the Pac-12 Championships. Disappointing finish, but always something to be learned."

The Cougars shot 304 (+16) on the day for a three-round score of 909 (+45). They were nine strokes behind LMU in 11th (+36, 900). Led by the individual winner, Sandy Scott (-3, 213), No. 10 Texas Tech took home the team title after shooting even par through the three rounds with a score of 864. Oregon State moved up a spot to finish second at 6-over-par, 870. Cal State Fullerton was third with a score of 871 (+7). Forty-eighth ranked Nevada finished fifth (+12, 876), while No. 50 SMU was 10th (+34, 898).

The No. 16 individual golfer in the nation, Scott shot even par in the final round for the one-stroke win. His teammate and the No. 74 individual, Ivan Ramirez, tied for second with Cal State Fullerton's Matt Wilson who moved up seven spots on the final day, both with scores of 214 (-2).

Junior Scott Redelsperger moved up 11 spots to tie for 47th with a score of 225 (+12). Cougar junior Daniel Kolar remained in a tie for 53rd while his teammate, sophomore Ryan Maine moved up 10 spots to join the tie for 53rd. Both shot three round scores of 230 (+14). Senior AJ Armstrong shot 231 (+15) to finish tied for 58th, along with junior Nicklaus Chiam who was competing as an individual. Senior Grant Cole was 75th at +21, 237. 

The Cougars have concluded the regular season and will hit the course again April 22-24 for the Pac-12 Championships hosted by Oregon at Eugene Country Club.
