SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — New Mexico’s Matthew Watkins fired a 2-over 72 on Monday, finishing 28th at the NCAA men’s Division I Golf Championships.
Watkins completed four rounds at Grayhawk Golf Club at 3-over 283. His finish was UNM’s best since 2013, when Gavin Green tied for 26th place.
“This week definitely made me more aware of how good I can be when I’m at my best, and how I can compete even when I’m don’t have my best,” Watkins said in a UNM news release.
Former UNM golfer Sam Choi, now at Pepperdine, finished tied for seventh with a 1-under total of 279.
