CHOUDRANT, La. — Billy Tom Sargent notched his second straight top-five finish to start the season Tuesday, finishing fifth individually at La Tech’s Jim Rivers Intercollegiate.
The redshirt sophomore finished the tournament with a 1-under 215 (70-70-75) total at the par-72, 7,070-yard Squire Creek Country Club. The reigning Conference USA Co-Golfer of the Week is coming off co-medalist honors last week at the Sam Hall Intercollegiate.
Sargent, whose steady play led the field with 40 pars across the three-day event, was named to the all-tournament team.
WKU tied for seventh as a team in the 13-team field behind the efforts of Sargent and his teammates.
