Day Two At Ping Arizona

49ers Finish 16th At Ping Arizona Intercollegiate
Michael Drake Ties For 61st Place

January 30, 2007

TUCSON, AZ-- The Long Beach State men's golf team finished in 16th place at the Ping Arizona Intercollegiate at the Arizona National Golf Course in Tucson, AZ. Long Beach shot a 306 in Monday's opening round, followed that up with a 295 in the second round and finished with a 310 for a total of 911. UNLV won the team title with an 829 with BYU coming in second at 833. This was the first tournament of the spring for the 49ers.

Individually, freshman Michael Drake tied for 61st place with a six-over-par 225 (73-75-77). Senior Nick Badel shot a 226 (76-70-80) to tie for 65th place, while redshirt freshman Karl Katnik shot a 230 (83-74-73) to tie for 76th place, as did senior Brett Lederer (74-76-80). Arizona's Brian Prouty won the individual championships with a 14-under 199 (62-67-70).

With the exception of one good round each from Karl Katnik and Nick Badel, we just didn't play very well," said Head Coach Bob Livingstone. "When you're on a course this difficult with a field this strong, you're just not going to finish well. We've got two weeks to prepare for Hawaii, which is also a very strong field, and hopefully we'll do better."

The 49ers will be next in action on February 21-23 when they compete at the John A. Burns Intercollegiate at the Leilehua Golf Course in Hawaii.
