STOCKTON, Calif. — Freshman Griffin Vaughan shot a 1-under par round of 71 and finished tied for 33^rd overall at the Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational on Wednesday at The Reserve. The Hornets concluded the tournament in 15^th place with scores of 302-296-290-888.
 
Vaughan matched Jai Bahl for the best overall finish on the team. Vaughan overcame a slow start which saw him bogey two of his first five holes and made the turn even following birdies on the par-3 15^th and par-5 16^th. He moved under par for the first time during the day with a birdie on the par-3 fourth but immediately followed with a double bogey on the next hole. Birdies on the par-5 sixth and par-4 seventh took him into the red for the second time in his last seven rounds.
 
Bahl, Zach Matzke and Luke Price each shot 73 to give the Hornets a team score of 2-over par in the round. The total was six strokes lower than second-round performance by the Hornets and 12 shots better than their opening round.
 
Bahl was quickly 2-over in the round with a double bogey on the par-5 11^th. He made the turn at 1-over following a birdie on the par-5 16^th and six pars. He played the front nine even with birdies on Nos. 2 and 6 and bogeys on Nos. 3 and 8. Bahl matched Vaughanin tying for 32^nd overall with a three-round total of 71-75-73-219.
 
Matzke enjoyed his best round of the tournament and tied for 76^th. Matzke was 5-over through three holes but got back on track by playing Nos. 13-18 at 1-under with a birdie on No. 16 and five pars. That momentum carried onto the front side of the course where he birdied No. 2 and eagled the 540-yard, par-5 sixth to get to 1-over. He closed his round with a bogey on No. 7 and a birdie on the par-4 ninth.
 
Price also had his lowest score of the week. The redshirt freshman had the best start on the team with birdies on Nos. 10 and 11 to get to 2-under. He added two additional birdies and two bogeys to make the turn at 2-under. Once on the front side of the course he had a birdie, two bogeys and a double bogey.
 
PJ Segerstrom shot 76 in the final round and tied Matzke for 76^th. Segerstrom's round was comprised of three birdies, six bogeys and a double bogey.
