Men’s golf finishes sixth in opening tournament

The TCU men’s golf team teed off its season this weekend at the Carmel Cup at Pebble Beach Golf Links in California, the site of five U.S. Open Championships. The Frogs finished sixth out of eight teams in the tournament.

Despite finishing sixth, the team managed to climb over two opponents in the final day of competition.

The Frogs posted a 1106 team score for the tournament. Oklahoma State took home first prize in the event with a 1075, followed by No. 12 ranked Georgia (1081) and No. 11 ranked Vanderbilt (1082).

Senior Paul Barjon stood out among the Frogs, finishing 10th individually. Barjon shot 217 for the tournament, shooting 1-under-par 71’s in the first two rounds before shooting a 3-over-par 75 on Sunday to finish 1 over for the tournament. It was his seventh career Top 10 finish.

Barjon was closely followed by a 4-over-par total from junior Chelso Barrett and a 5-over-par total from freshman Pierre Mazier, who was competing in his first collegiate tournament.
