CHOUDRANT – Malan Potgieter fired a 3-under-par 69 to earn his sixth career top-10 finish and Louisiana posted its second consecutive team score of 4-over 292 to finish in fifth place in the 2024 Argent Financial Classic on Tuesday at Squire Creek Country Club.
Â
Kyle Bennett posted a final round score of even-par 72 as Louisiana concluded the 54-hole event at 8-over 872 – two strokes behind third-place finishers Rice and Little Rock. Troy claimed the team title at 857 with Houston finishing three strokes back at 860.
Â
Potgieter recorded four birdies in the final round with a bogey at No. 18 to finish tied for eighth in the 99-player field at 2-under 214 – his first top-10 finish placing tied for fourth at the 2023 Aggie Invitational. The junior recorded a 2-under-34 on the front nine, capped by a birdie at No. 9, before producing birdies at both No. 11 and 12 on the back to move up 12 spots on the leaderboard.
Â
Bennett produced his best round in his Louisiana debut after posting scores of 76 and 81 in the first 36 holes. The New Orleans transfer opened with a pair of bogeys through the first three holes before his birdie at No. 9 closed his score at 1-over 37 at the turn.
Â
Eli Ortego recorded a 3-over 75 in the final round to finish tied for 29th overall at 4-over-220 with Burke Alford firing a 76 in the final round to finish at 6-over-222 for the event. Dylan Keating posted an 82 in the final round to finish at 10-over-226 with Jean Louis du Plessis posting his best round (4-over-76) in his debut to finish at 241.
Â
Louisiana will return for its second event of the fall season Sept. 23-24 when it competes in the 11-team GitRDone Invitational, hosted by the University of Nebraska.
