PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.—East Central University freshman golfer Bryeson Lance shot a 7-over-par 79 and finished in a three-way tie for 10th place at the 23rd PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship Sunday at the par-72 PGA Golf Club.
Lance shot an 81 in the first round and an 82 in the second before following up with the 79 to finish at 235 (26-over for the three rounds combined).
Dustin Thompson, of the University of North Carolina, won the event with an even-par 216 for the three rounds (72-73-71). Christian Heavens, of Georgetown University, was two strokes back at 218 (-3-76-69).
Only two NCAA Division II golfers—both from Incarnate Word—finished ahead of Lance.
