LAHAINA, HI (MPG) - Three members of the Sacramento State men’s golf shot even par and the Hornets enjoyed their best round of the Ka'anapali Classic on Tuesday, Oct. 27 in Hawaii. Due to inclement weather, the first nine holes of the third round were played on Monday, Oct. 26 and the teams wrapped up the tournament on Tuesday, Oct. 27.

Sacramento State was 10-over at the midway point of the round but took eight strokes off that mark this morning, to finish the round at 2-over. The Hornets concluded the tournament in 19th place with rounds of 308-293-286-887.
 
PJ Segerstrom, Zach Matzke and Griffin Vaughan were all even in the third round. Segerstrom had the highest overall finish on the team, tying for 47th at 74-72-71-217. He was even through nine holes with a birdie and a bogey but moved to 3-over after starting the day with a double bogey on the par-4 fifth. He immediately answered with an eagle on the par-5 sixth and birdied the par-4 seventh to get to 1-under. A double bogey on the par-3 eighth was followed by him playing his final six holes at 1-under with a birdie on the par-4 10th.
 
Matzke started the morning 2-over but also eagled No. 6 and birdied No. 7 to dip into red numbers. A double bogey on the par-4 11th moved him to 1-over before a birdie on No. 12 and a par on No. 13 closed his tournament.
 
Vaughan was 4-over through 12 holes before catching fire. The freshman birdied four of his final six holes to get back to even. His streak began with a birdie on the par-3 eighth and the par-5 ninth. After two pars, he birdied the par-4 12th and 13th. Matzke and Vaughan tied for 77th overall at 10-over.
 
Luke Price completed the team total with a 73. Price entered Tuesday 5-over in the round. He immediately lowered that number with birdies on Nos. 6 and 9. His only bogey of the day came on the par-4 11th but was trailed by birdies on Nos. 12 and 13.
 
No. 12 Georgia withstood a change from Clemson to win the team title by one strike. The Bulldogs were 23-under over the three rounds while the Tigers were 18-under during the day to get 22-under.
