Billy Tom Sargent
Four Western Kentucky golfers fired their best round of the 2018 Conference USA Championship on Tuesday, completing the day with a 2-over 290 team total.
The Hilltoppers improved by 10 strokes from their second round and finished ninth as a team with an 894 (304-300-290). The top four teams will decide the team champion in match play in Texarkana, Ark.
Individually, redshirt junior Billy Tom Sargent ended the tournament with a 2-under 70. He tied for 11th overall with a 219 (75-74-70) total.
Just as he did last year, when he tied for 12th in the C-USA Championship, Sargent’s 11th-place finish is the best by a Hilltopper in a conference tournament since 2010.
