CARMEL, Calif. — No. 25 BYU men’s golf (278-274-291-843) took second at 21 under par Tuesday at The Preserve Golf Club Collegiate at Santa Lucia Preserve, earning its best finish of the season.
Drake Harvey (70-67-70-207) finished second at 9 under to earn his first career top-five finish. Peter Kim (65-70-75-210) tied for fifth at 6 under to round out the Cougars in the top 10.
“This was a solid performance by our team without Kihei [Akina] in the lineup,” head coach Todd Miller said. “We had a great chance to win down the stretch, but we didn’t hit enough quality iron shots to make birdies like we did in the first two rounds.”
Harvey shot a 2-under 70 in the final round, including four birdies and two bogeys. He responded to a bogey on No. 6 with back-to-back birdies on Nos. 7 and 8. After making the turn at 1 under, he added another birdie on the 10th hole to open the back nine. After offsetting a bogey with a birdie late in the round, the freshman finished the tournament with the lowest 54-hole score of his career.
Kim carded a 3-over 75 to complete his tournament run. He recorded six bogeys and three birdies en route to the ninth top-five finish of his career.
