Jacobsen falls in sudden-death
Golfers finish second
PROVO, UTAH — Oregon led by one stroke after 18 holes and
trailed by only six after 36, but host Brigham Young University used
great depth to run away with its ninth straight Cougar Classic golf crown
at Riverside Country Coub in Provo. Oregon's team total of 874 was 25
strokes off the pace set by the BYU varsity (849).
Oregon senior Peter Jacobsen led the field most of the tournament,
but fell to the final day rush of BYU s John Fought. Fought shot the final
day's best round (67) to catch Jacobsen at five-under-par 211 The BYU
golfer used his momentum to win the sudden-death play-off, making a
birdie on hole three. Jacobsen fell back into the tie after missing the 18th
green and settling for a bogie. His final day 73 offset two outstanding
earlier rounds of 69 each.
Duck sophomore Jeff Sanders carded 70-70 over the first day of
competition, putting him a close second to Jacobsen going into
Saturday's final 18. Sanders, however, three-putted the first six holes
and two of the next four, placing him eight-over for the day starting the
back nine. He finished with a streak of four birdies, though, to save his
tournament score at 216, five behind the leaders.
Oregon coach Jim Ferguson was somewhat disappointed his team
couldn't stay closer to BYU after playing the hosts even dunng the first
day.
"Their (BYU's) depth was just too much for us. said Ferguson.
"That’s why they're ranked third in the country. ’
