Junior records best round by a Blue Demon in 15 years

CHESTERSTON, Ind. – Nik Gatmaytan turned in the best round of his career with a sizzling six-under score of 66 to finish in a tie for sixth place at the Crusader Collegiate. Gatmaytan's round is the lowest by a DePaul golfer since the 2004-05 season.

Gatmaytan's round on Tuesday was bogey-free as he made the circuit around Sand Creek CC with six birdies. After starting the day in a tie for 21st place, he moved up the leaderboard into a tie for sixth for the best finish of his collegiate career. Gatmaytan finished the tournament with a score of 213 (-3).

His round of 66 was the best round by a Blue Demon since Matt McMahon's record of 63 (-7) at the The Tillinghast at Fenway GC in Scarsdale, N.Y. in October 2004.

Two freshmen followed Gatmaytan as Noah Kolar was tied for 16th and Stephen Sul was in a group in 25th place. Sul joined sophomore Campbell Wolf in a tie for 25th place. Kolar carded his second straight 71 (-1) in the third round to finish at 217 (+1) while Sul and Wolf each posted a 54-hole total of 220 (+4). Sul fired a 70 (-2) in his third round while Wolf posted a 77 (+5).

Perry Chong finished in a tie for 51st place and Grant Boyson was in a group in 58th place. Chong notched a career-best 71 (-1) to finish at 228 (+12) while Boyson finished with a 78 (+6) for a total score of 229 (+13).

The Blue Demons continue the season next week at the NKU Fall Classic in Batavia, Ohio. The tournament hosted by Northern Kentucky takes place at Elks Run GC on Sept. 23-24.
