MEMPHIS, Tenn.-Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns golf team concluded the second and what ended up being the final round of play on Tuesday at the Memphis Intercollegiate at the Colonial Country Club in Memphis, Tenn.  The golf tournament was shortened do to inclement weather in the area. 

 

The Cajuns finished the tournament in 11^th place.  After shooting a 300 in the first round, the Ragin’ Cajuns combined for a team score of 308 in the second round. 

 

Ole Miss won the tournament easily.  The Rebels were the only team below par, finishing eight strokes ahead of Southern Miss who came in second.  Tournament-host Memphis came in third place just ahead of Penn State.  Mississippi State and Wisconsin tied for fifth to round out the top-five.  

 

Devin Carrey was the top Cajun finisher.  He led all Cajuns golfers after his first round score of one-over par 73.  In the second round, Carrey carded a two-over par 74.  His three-over par score gave the junior his second top-20 finish of the fall (T-18). 

 

Senior Michael Smith was the model of consistency.  The Lafayette native carded back to back rounds of 75 to finish in a tie for 34^th. 

 

Just behind Smith was Thomas Petts.  The Cajuns’ newcomer shot an opening round of 74, but followed that performance with a 79 to finish in a tie for 52^nd. 

 

Rounding out the scoring for the Cajuns was B.C. Thibeaux, III and Seth Dufrene.  Thibeaux and Dufrene both had disappointing second rounds to finish in 75^th and 79^th respectively. 

 

The Ragin’ Cajuns will return to action at the Louisiana Tech/Squire Creek Intercollegiate on Oct. 15-16.  The tournament hosted by Louisiana Tech will take place at the Squire Creek Country Club in Ruston, La.
