DUPONT, WA- The Cougars competed in their third tournament of the year the past two days at The Home Course in DuPont, Washington at the SMU Bishop Invitational. After torrential rain made the course unplayable yesterday morning, CCU played just two rounds in total with an afternoon round yesterday and another 18 today. Led by a strong push on day two, CCU claimed second place overall and Bradley Mulder won his second straight individual title. 

ROUND ONE
Mulder led his team in the first round of competition, firing a 72 as he rebounded from a tough front 9 with four birdies on the back 9. Lance Christensen Jr. sank three birdies on his way to a 73, while Avery Jones shot a 75. Jude Robbins and Elijah Johnson shot 77 and 80 respectively to close out the starting five. Cameron Cantillana competed as an individual and fired a 77.  

ROUND TWO 
With some ground to make up on day two, CCU responded with the best 18 hole score of any team in the tournament with a 278. Mulder fired an excellent 68 with six birdies, including two in his last three holes to climb the leaderboard to the top at -4 to claim the individual title. Just behind him came his teammate Christensen Jr. who shot a 68 as well with four birdies to tie for second overall. Robbins carded a 69 with six birdies as he tied for 18th, while Jones finished with a 73 to tie for 33rd. Johnson tied for 56th with a 73, while two birdies and an eagle from Cantillana gave him a tie with his teammate for 33rd as he posted a 71. 

Overall, the Cougars shot a total of 575 (297, 278) as they finished one under par to claim second place overall. Cal State San Marcos claimed the title by firing an overall score of eight under par. 

CCU will stay in Washington for their next tournament September 28-29 as they compete at the WWU Invitational at Bellingham Golf and Country Club.
