The Hawkeyes’ stellar play on Sunday tied a number of school records. Larson’s 67 (-5) tied his career low and is the fourth lowest 18-hole score in history. Additionally, his 54-hole total of 213 (-3) tied former Hawkeye and PGA player Guy Boros, among others, with the sixth-lowest total in history. As a team, Iowa tied the seventh best 18-hole team score with a 286 and the 857 was the 10th-best 54-hole team total in history.
Larson was pleased with the Hawkeyes performance. “We finally put four good scores together and we saw what we could do when we play well. We look to build on our performance going into next week.”
Holterhaus comments on handling the elements. “As a team we did very well as it was our best finish of the year. Todd played great today and that really helped us out. It was extremely windy today and we handled the wind well. We have been practicing in some windy conditions so that helped us get by some teams today.”
Head Coach Mark Hankins liked what he saw from his group. “We have been working on playing each shot, one at a time. We handled the elements and the course really well. We finally put four good scores together each day of the tournament. I was very pleased with our overall consistency.”
The Hawkeyes will look to build on their stellar tournament as they wrap-up the fall season at the Wolverine Invitational in Mission Inn Resort, Florida Nov. 5.
