Touchard Ties For Individual Medalist Honors at The Hrnciar

DUNCAN, Okla. — Four birdies on the front nine helped set up St. Mary's University Men's Golfer Baptiste Touchard as he finished in a three-way tie for individual medalist honors at The Hrnciar on Tuesday, ending with a one-over-par 217.

Touchard, a junior from Saint-Agathon, France, shot an even-par 72 on Tuesday after posting rounds of 73 and 72 on Monday. He did most of his damage on the par-4 holes, going -1 for a 3.97 average, the second-best average in the field.

The win for Touchard is the first since Aidan Fitzgerald won the Jack Brown Memorial to kick off the spring season last year. He becomes the 26th different Rattler to win an individual title and the second under Head Coach Connor McCarthy.

The Rattlers climbed one spot at The Territory Golf and Country Club to finish in fourth place with a three-round total of 899 (293-305-301). Host Cameron won the title at 883 strokes, with DBU (885) and Science & Arts of Oklahoma (896) in second and third, respectively.

Freshman Elijah Galvan (Austin, Texas) finished inside the top 25 for the first time in his career, placing 14th with a 54-hole total of 225 (71-76-78). Junior Kongpop Kaikaew (Rayong, Thailand) shaved one stroke off his second-round total to shoot a 78 on Tuesday and finish in a three-way tie for 26th place at 228 (71-79-78).

Sophomore Philip Hallström (Gävle, Sweden) jumped up eight spots in the standings, finishing tied for 40th place after carding a 76 in the final round. He ended the two days with 232 strokes (78-78-76). The biggest mover of the day award goes to junior Oscar Sandberg (Enkoping, Sweden). He took nine strokes off his second round with a 75 to climb into a five-way tie for 66th place at 245 (86-84-75). 

Freshman Zach Seader (Bulverde, Texas) competed as an individual in the tournament, but there was a glitch in his final round in the results, and the 18th hole was not recorded.

The Rattlers have one tournament remaining on the fall slate as they head to the DBU Classic in Rockwall next week.
