The tournament was shorted to 36 holes after inclement weather on Monday.
In the two-round tournament, Garon posted scores of 66 (-6) and 69 (-3) to finish two strokes ahead of the nearest competitor. Monday's round of 66 was the tournament low, narrowly missing the tournament record of 65. As a team, Meridian finished tied for seventh in the field of 18.
Garon, last season's NJCAA Division I individual champion, is currently a sophomore at Meridian Community College and will have two years of eligibility remaining when he tees it up for the Cajuns in the fall.
Garon will be teaming up with a former teammate from Meridian next season. Current Cajun Garrett Westbrook has seen limited action for UL this past season. While at Meridian, Westbrook was a two-time NJCAA All-America. He and Garon helped lead the Eagles to a runner-up finish at the 2010 NJCAA National Championship.
