EL MACERO, Calif. - The University of San Francisco men's golf team gathered momentum heading into the postseason this weekend as the Dons finished fifth overall as a team at the El Macero Classic while
Oscar Bredkjaer won the individual title for the green and gold at El Macero Country Club.
TOURNAMENT RESULTS:
- Improving with every round once again, Bredkjaer followed his fourth-place finish at the UCSB Gaucho Invite earlier this week by taking home his first trophy at the Division I level. Overall, the sophomore finished two strokes above fellow WCC foe Carlos Astiazaran of Pacific as Bredkjaer shot 6-under-210 (71-69-70) to capture the individual title. Notably, he was one of just eight individuals to shot under-par during his final round on Sunday (-2/70).
- Seeing success for San Francisco, Renato Naula was not too far behind Bredkjaer as the junior finished in a tie for 12th at 2-over-218 (70-73-735). Just one stroke behind Naula, Martín León finished in a tie for 16th at 3-over-219 (72-74-73). Impressively, León climbed ten spots on the final day by shooting 1-over across his closing round.
- Svante Palmgren also competed for San Francisco as the sophomore tied for 77th at 19-over-235 (78-82-75) while Aidan Oliver placed 88th at 23-over-239 (80-83-76).
- Coming together as a group, San Francisco tied with UC San Diego for a team-low (+5) in the final round on Sunday as the Dons climbed from eighth into a tie with Cal Baptist for fifth place. Notably, the green and gold were one of three West Coast Conference (WCC) teams to finish in the top five as a team: Pacific (third), San Diego (fourth) and San Francisco (tied for fifth).
