GOLETA, Calif. - In a tournament that was limited to two rounds (36 holes) due to foggy weather on the Santa Barbara coast, sophomore Nick Fowlkes came away with CSUN's second individual win in its last three tournaments as he won the UC Santa Barbara Collegiate Tuesday at Sandpiper G.C.
Fowlkes, who fired a season-low 6-under 66 in round one on Monday, had five birdies on Tuesday to post a score of 1-under 71 and claim his first collegiate win. After opening the day on the No. 10 tee, Fowlkes got as low as 2-under after his fourth birdies at No. 1. He then finished 1-over on his final eight holes, capped by his fifth birdie to finish the day at 1-under and 7-under 137 for the tournament.
Fowlkes' win follows up Eirik Thomassen's individual win at the UCSD Invitational on Mar. 28.
As a team, the Matadors (285) led by seven shots over Utah Valley (292) after one round before finishing the final round at 301 to drop into second. The Wolverines posted a 290 in the second round to overtake CSUN to win the team competition by four shots.

COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"Nick has been hitting the ball really well the last few tournaments, he just wasn't making a lot of birdies. Things really came together at this tournament and his hard work paid off, really happy for him. We feel good about this tournament and our next event at BYU will be our final tune-up before Big West so we're looking for a strong finish there as well."
The Matadors return to the course on Friday, Apr. 21 for the first two rounds of the PING Cougar Classic at Riverside Country Club in Provo, Utah.
