HEMET, Calif. --- It was a frustrating final day at the California State Intercollegiate tournament, as despite some noteworthy individual performances, Biola could not pull itself out of last place, finishing 12^th of the 12 teams.
 
Biola's top four scorers shot a 310, which was six strokes better than yesterday's second round, but still left them finishing 10 strokes behind the 11^th-place finisher, Occidental College.

"It was a tough day as we could not climb over any teams," said Head Coach Hank Woodrome. "We needed to shoot 300 or better to pull out of last place. It was frustrating, because I know we are capable of shooting around 900."
 
Biola finished the tournament with a three-round score of 930 (+66), while the winning team, CSU San Marcos, finished with a phenomenal 846 (-18). The Cougars also had the top individual, Ryan Odom, and three of the top five overall.
 
William Langworthy and Cameron Bauer stood out with the top two individual scores for Biola. They tied for 41^st overall with three-round totals of 231 (+15).
 
Bauer was the most consistent golfer on the weekend, carding all three rounds in the 70s in just his second collegiate tournament. Langworthy had the low round in both the first and third rounds, scoring a 74 and 75, respectively.

Lucas Kinan and Samuel Shih also scored on the final day for the Eagles, registering a 78 and 81, respectively. Shih had another solid performance, finishing 20-over and registering the third-best three-round score for Biola, including the Eagles' best round yesterday afternoon.
 
Men's golf is showing continual signs of improvement over last year. While they are not yet averaging 300 strokes per round, as is Woodrome's goal, they've averaged just over 310 a round, which is 23 strokes better than 2013-14's average of 333 per round.
 
"On a count 4 of 5 team, all we need to do is improve 1-2 strokes per man per round," said Woodrome. "I am confident we will get there soon. It wont take much to get us to the 300 level."
 
If Biola scored 300 in each of the three rounds of this tournament, the team would've finished in seventh place, coming in ahead of programs such as Cal Lutheran, Hope International, William Jessup, Chapman and Occidental.
 
The Eagles have a week to continue to work out the kinks, as they compete along with the women's team at next week's Embry-Riddle Co-Ed Invitational.
