Three Ragin' Cajuns in top-20 as Louisiana posts best finish since 2009
LAFAYETTE – Peter Hinnant and Hudson Dubinski each posted top-10 finishes and the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Golf team recorded its best performance in its home event since 2009 after earning a second-place finish at the 36th annual Louisiana Classics which concluded on Tuesday at Oakbourne Country Club.
Â
Charlie Flynn overcame a struggle midway through Monday's opening round to record his fourth straight top-20 finish in as many events during the 2020-21 season and help lead Louisiana to a 54-hole total of 861 – two strokes off its best-ever performance (859) set in 2009 – and finish behind No. 5-ranked Illinois in the 14-team field.
Â
The Fighting Illini claimed their sixth Louisiana Classics title with a record-breaking performance, finishing at 823 overall – breaking the previous mark (835) set by Texas A&M in 2018 – while also setting tournament records for largest margin of victory (38), lowest overall team round (20-under-268) and lowest final round score.
Â
Hinnant, who posted the second-lowest score in tournament history in Monday's second round (8-under-par 64), battled the wind in the final round and posted a 5-over 77 to finish in a four-way tie for ninth place at 1-under 215 overall with Dubinski posting a 2-over 74 and also finishing at 215.
Â
Flynn, playing in Monday's No. 1 group that included Michael Feagles – the No. 4-ranked individual player in the country – overcame bad luck at the par-3, No. 9 hole in Monday's opening round to post his second below-par round. After carding a 7-over 79 in Monday's early round, Flynn came back with a 4-under 68 in the second round for the Ragin' Cajuns before posting a 2-under 70 to finish at 1-over 217 and tied for 16th place.
Â
Bjorn Gudjonsson carded a final-round score of even-par 72 and finished at 3-over 219 for the Ragin' Cajuns finishing at 12-over 227. Justin Caldwell (230), freshman Jake Marler (234) and Cole Kendrick (238) rounded out the Ragin' Cajuns lineup as the trio competed as individuals.
Â
Louisiana finished ahead of a pair of top-50 teams as No. 38-ranked North Texas was third (864) with No. 49-ranked Sam Houston fourth (867). ULM moved up one spot and finished fifth in the event at 873 with three teams – Kansas City, Rice and Southern Illinois – tied for sixth at 875 with Illinois State and Texas State tied for ninth at 879.
Â
First-round co-leader Jerry Ji of Illinois carded his third-straight round in the 60's to claim medalist honors and lead the Fighting Illini to a 1-2-3 individual finish. Ji finished at 13-under-203, tying him for the lowest 54-hole total in Louisiana Classics with former Illinois golfer Thomas Detry (2015).
Â
Feagles and Adrien Dumont de Chassart each finished four strokes back at 207 overall with William Holcomb of Sam Houston finishing fourth (208) and Illinois' Giovanni Tadiotto fifth (210).
Â
Louisiana will return to action on March 28-30 when it competes in the Craft Farms Invitational in Gulf Shores, Ala.
