For the second year in a row, a New Mexico State golfer upstaged the locals at the William H. Tucker tournament at the UNM Championship Course.
Garrison Smith shot a 5-under 67 Saturday to pull into third place with a three-round total of 8-under 208, one stroke better than New Mexico’s Albert Boneta in fourth.
A year ago, it was St. Pius alum Aidan Thomas stealing the headlines by taking individual honors for the Aggies. This year, the former Sartan had trouble getting going.
But Smith, who chipped in for birdies on two different holes, did enough to uphold NMSU pride.
