STOCKTON, Calif. - CSUN's Antoine Sale posted his second top-20 finish of the season - in addition to a pair of top-10 placings - as the Matador men's golf team finished 12th as the Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational concluded Wednesday at The Reserve at Spanos Park.

Sale, who opened the day tied for sixth at 7-under 137, had three birdies and three bogeys in the final round to finish the day at even-par 72. He wound up the tournament tied for 13th at 7-under 209 which was just four shots off his season best.

As a team, the Matadors followed up rounds of 289-284 with a final round 288 to slip into 12th place at 3-under 861. Grand Canyon carded a blistering final round 274 to claim team champion honors with a total of 37-under 827. Cal State Fullerton's Tegan Andrews claimed individual medalist honors with a 54-hole total of 14-under 202. A total of 17 teams competed in the invitational.

CSUN SCORES

Eirik Thomassen narrowly missed his second top-20 finish of the season, tying for 21st at 5-under 211. Thomassen had four of his five birdies on the back nine as he moved to 2-under through 16 holes. He would close his round bogey-par to finish the day at 1-under 71.
Thomas Burou had three birdies in the final round, along with 13 pars, one bogey, and one double-bogey to finish the day at even-par 72. Burou wound up tied for 26th at 1-under 215 and was the low individual player in the field.
Brandon McDonough had five birdies, three coming on the back nine as he matched Thomassen for CSUN's low round of the day at 1-under 71. McDonough tied for 57th 4-over 220.
Felix Schrott followed up rounds of 76-74 with a final round 2-over 74 to finish tied for 73rd at 8-over 224.
Liam Judkins rounded out the CSUN scoring, tying for 81st following rounds of 73-78-75.

ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JIM BRACKEN
"We didn't play well on the front nine but I was proud of the way we battled back to get under-par on the back nine. But we really just didn't get anything going this entire tournament. We'll take a couple of days off and reset ourselves, work on some things in practice and get ready for Hawai'i which is going to be a strong field. We're looking forward to finishing the fall on a strong note and finish in the top-10 if not better."

The Matadors will complete the fall portion of the 2023-24 season beginning next Thursday (Oct. 26) as CSUN competes at the Ka'anapali Classic Collegiate Invitational at Ka'anapali GC in Lahaina, Hawai'i.
