Ragin' Cajuns earn 13th place finish in spring opener; will host Louisiana Classics on March 15-16
LAREDO, Texas – Charlie Flynn kept up his strong 2020-21 season on the golf course as posted an even-par round of 72 and finished fourth overall to lead the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Golf team at the Border Olympics, which concluded on Tuesday at the Laredo Country Club.
Â
Flynn, who opened the 54-hole tournament on Monday with a 1-under 71, carded an identical 71 to cap Louisiana's second round before finishing at 2-under 214 and two strokes behind Texas A&M's Dan Erickson and Texas' Hunter Ostrom. The top-5 performance for the Alexandria, La., native was the first of career for Louisiana and his third top-20 finish in three events during the 2020-21 season.
Â
"Extremely proud of Charlie's consistency and performance this week," head coach Theo Sliman said. "If not for a few dropped shots on the par-fives today, we could have seen him in the winner's circle ... a position that we should see him in in the near future.
Â
"As for a team, this was not the result we expected. For us to accomplish our goals this spring, we need more competitiveness and a collective effort from the entire team. We look forward to a couple of weeks of preparation before seeing some of these same teams again when we host the Louisiana Classics at Oakbourne Country Club."
Â
Louisiana finished 13th overall in the 18-team field after posting a team score of 303 in the final round to finish at 904 overall. Texas A&M claimed the team title at 862 with Texas (870), host Houston (873), Sam Houston (885) and ULM (887) closing out the top five.
Â
Peter Hinnant posted a round of 5-over 77 to finish at 225 in the event for Louisiana with Hunter Hammett (234), Jake Marler (236) and Cole Kendrick (239) following.
Â
Louisiana will return home to host the annual Louisiana Classics set for March 15-16 at Oakbourne Country Club. The two-day, 54-hole event will mark the return to college golf to Oakbourne for the first time in two years after the 2020 tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
