DAVIS, Calif. – Entering the final round of the El Macero Classic two strokes back from first place, Enrique Dimayuga put together one of the best individual rounds in Nevada Men’s Golf history, carding a 64 (-8) to win the title by three strokes with a 54-hole score of 209 (-7) and become the first golfer in program history to win consecutive individual championships.
Dimayuga’s immaculate final round performance matched the third-best single round score in Nevada Men’s Golf history; and, the senior became just one of four Wolf Pack golfers all-time to win multiple titles in a single season, in addition to being the first to win back-to-back championships.
Dimayuga helped propel Nevada to a seventh-place finish in the 18-team field at the El Macero Classic. The Pack closed out the event with their best round of the tournament, recording an impressive score of 287 (-1). Nevada completed the event with a 54-hole score of 893 (+29).
Dimayuga led the way for the Wolf Pack with an unforgettable performance Sunday. The senior’s incredible final round consisted of eight pars, nine birdies, and just one bogey. Dimayuga has been dominant over the Pack’s past two events. The senior has built tremendous momentum entering the final stretch of the season, and he has now etched his name into Nevada Golf history as the first golfer to win back-to-back events.
Jonathan Kim closed out his impressive performance throughout the tournament by carding a 74 (+2) on Sunday, and he completed the event tied for 22nd overall at +7. Kim recorded 10 pars and three birdies during the final round, in what was one of the premier 54-hole performances of his young career.
Liam Gobin had an exceptional final round performance, recording a score of 70 (-2) to conclude the El Macero Classic tied for 48th at +13. Gobin had a highly consistent round, tallying 14 pars, three birdies, and one bogey.
Tom Patterson carded a 79 (+7) on Sunday to complete the tournament in a tie for 79th overall, and Supakit (Oak) Seelanagae recorded a score of 79 (+7) to finish the event tied for the 100th position on the leaderboard at +27.
