Mustang History in the Regionals

Last Time Out
The SMU men's golf team secured its second American Athletic Conference title and 10th title in program history, setting a 54-hole tournament scoring record of 835 (282-277-276, -29) at the Southern Hills Golf Club on Apr. 24.

Sophomore Petronzio earned his first career medalist honors, holding the first-place spot throughout the three-day event and ending the tournament as the only participant of the 45-player field to score in the 60s each day.

A 13-under, 203 finish for Petronzio tied the fifth-lowest 54-hole tournament score in program history, a mark set by Will Dodson in the 2006 C-USA Men's Championship and tied by Frank Wrenn at the John Burns Intercollegiate in 2007.

All five Mustangs in the lineup closed the final round below par and in the top-22 of the individual standings.

Goodwin closed his conference championship bid in fourth place at nine-under. The senior carded a four-under, 68 on the final day, hitting six birdies and a clean sheet through the front nine for the second time in the tournament. Goodwin posted the second-lowest performance on par fours against the field (-3, 3.90) and third-lowest on par fives (-7, 4.42).

Wisener went three-under in rounds two and three to tie his career low round and finish at four under and tied for eleventh. Wisener's six-under at par fives was the fourth-lowest of the field (-6, 4.50 avg.). Through the final round, Wisener carded an unblemished one-under through the front nine and four birdies after the turn, including three birdies on consecutive holes (14-16).

Osborne closed day three at two-under, good for a T-14th-place finish. Osborne notched four birdies through the final round and hit a clean sheet at one-under through the back nine. Osborne's two-under at par threes (2.83 avg.) was the second-lowest of the field, and the juniors 39 pars through the 54-hole tournament was the second most.

As a team, SMU posted the low score on par threes (E, 3.00 avg.), par fours (-1 3.99 avg.), and par fives (-25, 4.58 avg.). 64 team birdies was the highest figure of the tournament, ten higher than second-place South Florida.
