April 18, 2022  -  The Tigers came in 2^nd place on the day by 2 strokes, even though they played some of their best golf of the season, shooting a season-best team score of 371 (+11).  Leading the way for Reedley College was Patrick Sperling, who shot an EVEN par round of 72, contributing 4 Birdies and finishing in 3^rd Place Individually overall out of 48 players on the day.  Cole Obrigewitsch posted the next best round of 73, converting 3 Birdies and also finishing in the Top 5.  Emil Eriksson posted a 75, not playing his best golf but grinding out a competitive score for the Tigers. Jacob Moller also posted a 75 for the Tigers, making 4 Birdies and an Eagle on the way to his very solid score. Jack Peters rounded out the scoring on the afternoon with a 76.  Jack also made 4 Birdies on the day, making the total of 17 Birdies for the Tigers on this cool and windy day in the Napa Valley, also a season-high! Reedley was happy with their play, but not satisfied with the result of a 2^nd place finish, and know that they must continue to improve as they get closer to the end of the regular season.  The Tigers' record in the Big 8 Conference now stands at 36-4-1, winning 5 conference tournaments to date, and overall the Tigers are 37-4-1 on the season.  The Tigers still hold a 15-tournament advantage over the Fresno City team.  Reedley has 65 points, and 2^nd place FCC has 50 total points.  Reedley only has one more tournament left in the 2022 Big 8 Conference regular season.  The focus for this team is now to finish the regular season strong, and hopefully on a positive note!  The final tournament will be held at Del Monte Golf Course in Monterey. The tournament is slated to begin with a shotgun start at 1:30 pm on Wednesday.
