Fierce two-day battle leads to 10th place for Cal Maritime

REDDING, Calif. – If Cal Maritime sought the perfect pre-Cal Pac Championship event to prepare everyone for the rigors of competing in a postseason tournament, the Simpson Invitational provided that, and more, since Cal Maritime ended its stay in Redding, California, in 10th place with a team score of 45-over.

 Entering the day with 10 shots separating a handful of teams that occupied fifth through 10th place, Monday's opening-round battle continued Tuesday when teams took their second tour of the par 72, 5,990-yard course at Riverview Golf and Country Club.  

 That same situation unfolded once competition concluded since the Keelhaulers finished within striking distance of Jessup, a team that finished fifth.

 James McNally led CSUM by posting a 1-over 145 to finish 10th; after shooting even par yesterday, the junior from Benicia shot a 73 on Tuesday to secure a top 10 individual finish.

 Jake Banich enjoyed the biggest jump on the leaderboard and finished tied for 35th overall at 12-over. Following yesterday's 8-over result, he enjoyed a four-stroke improvement by ending the day at 4-over.

 Brennan White matched Monday's 6-over result by posting an identical 78 on Tuesday; that allowed him to climb five spots and pull even with his teammate, Banich, for a share of 35th place at 12-over.

Tyler Dendiu and Ryan Bean shot 20- and 45-over to end the tournament in 57th and 64th place, respectively.

 Off for the next two weeks, Cal Maritime will head to Ventura, California, to compete in the California Pacific Conference Men's Golf Championship. Providence Christian will host this three-day event, starting April 15, at Olivas Links.
