Ragin' Cajuns post lowest score during spring season; Hinnant, Flynn in top 15
GULF SHORES, Ala. – Peter Hinnant and Eli Ortego each posted rounds in the 60's and the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Golf team surged up the team standings in finishing fourth overall at the 2022 Craft Farms Intercollegiate on Tuesday on the Cotton Creek Course at Craft Farms Golf Club.
Louisiana, which posted its lowest round of the spring and second-lowest round of the season (7-under-281), moved up four spots in the 13-team field as it finished at 2-over-866 for the 54-hole event. The Ragin' Cajuns posted a final round team score of 7-under-281, the lowest score of the day with four golfers finishing at par or better.
Hinnant, who finished sixth overall at 2-under-214, and Flynn, who was tied for 13th at 1-over-217, each produced bogey-free rounds on the back nine. The duo combined to finish 6-under through the turn with Hinnant recording four of his seven birdies in the final round on the back.
Hinnant, who finished with 15 birdies in the tournament to move past Orn Hjartarson (1999-2002) into second-place on the school's all-time list with 393, recorded three straight birdies beginning at No. 16 before shooting an even-par 36 on the front nine.
Flynn picked up birdies at No. 15 and 17 and moved to 3-under after making the turn and recording a birdie at No. 1.
Freshman Eli Ortego surged up the leaderboard in the final round after shooting a 3-under-69 in the final round. The former Ascension Episcopal product opened the day with birdies on his first three holes and finished at 2-under-34 at the turn. Ortego added a birdie on the front nine at No. 3 and finished at 6-over-222 for the tournament.
Matt Weber finished at 222 for the Ragin' Cajuns after recording a 3-over-75 in the final round with Jake Marler firing an even-par 72 in the final round to finish at 224 overall. Hudson Dubinski, competing as an individual, finished with an 87.
Host South Alabama claimed the team title after blistering the field at 22-under-842 for the tournament. Southern Illinois and Georgia State were 23 shots back at 865 followed by Louisiana (866) and Lamar (868). Jack Hearn of South Alabama claimed medalist honors after finishing at 13-under-203 for the tournament and four strokes ahead of second-place Matthis Besard of Southern Illinois.
Louisiana will return to action on April 11-12 when it travels to West Point, Miss., to compete in Mississippi State's Mossy Oak Collegiate Championship. The event is the final tuneup for Louisiana before the Sun Belt Conference Championships, scheduled for April 24-27 at Mystic Creek Golf Club in El Dorado, Ark.
