LAFAYETTE, La. – Throughout the two days of the Louisiana Classic, NM State struggled to get into a rhythm on the oak tree-lined course. Each round of the tournament saw NM State post a lower score than the previous round with Tuesday's 301 (+17) being the lowest of the bunch. The Aggies finished in twelfth place, sitting ahead of the two-time defending Summit League champions Denver and Louisiana Tech.
On Tuesday,
Garrison Smith posted the Aggies' lowest score with an even 71. Between holes five and fifteen, Smith shot three-under with a trio of birdies. When the tournament drew to a close, Smith sat in a tie for 35th place. Coincidentally,
Aidan Thomas was tied with Smith, shooting a 228 (+15) in Lafayette.
Alexandre Bauduin posted the best finish among NM State golfers, tying for 15th. After shooting a 76 and 70 on Monday, Bauduin concluded the two-day event by shooting another 76 on Tuesday.
Men's golf will take nearly a one month break from competitions before returning to the course for The Aggie Invitational. Despite the name of Aggies, the tournament will be hosted by Texas A&M University and will be held in Bryan, Texas. Last summer, Thomas competed at the Traditions Golf Club in Bryan for the NCAA Regional as an individual.
