Sooners Land Two in Top 10 at Southern Amateur
July 18, 2020 | Men's Golf
CARROLLTON, Texas — Oklahoma men's golfers continued to shine in summer events this weekend as four Sooners made the cut at the 114th Southern Amateur Championship at Maridoe Golf Club in Carrollton, Texas, two of them finishing in the top 10 at one of the most prestigious summer amateurs.
Four final-round birdies and seven pars on the back nine were enough to help OU All-American Quade Cummins claim third at the event with a 5-under 283. After firing an opening-round 73, the senior carded three consecutive rounds of 70 to climb the leaderboard. His three rounds in the red were tied for the most in the field and his 54 total pars for the event were the most among all competitors.
"I've been playing pretty solid back home, but was pretty nervous coming into the week, just because I know what Maridoe can do if you're off even a little bit," Cummins said after the event. "I only had one bad hole, which at Maridoe is pretty good over 72 holes. I was playing and hitting it well enough to win, but I just didn't have enough putts go in when I needed them. There's a lot of positives from this week that will hopefully set me up for a great stretch of golf."
Joining Cummins in the top 10 was rising-junior Patrick Welch. The Providence, R.I., product shot a 76 on Wednesday before firing a 68 on Thursday, followed by 72 and 71 over the final two rounds to finish tied for ninth in a field that featured some of the best collegiate golfers in the country. Welch, like Cummins, was a beacon of clean golf at Maridoe, collecting 50 pars, tied for sixth-most in the field.
Logan McAllister (+2, 290) impressed on Saturday, carding a 71 to finish in a tie for 21st, and Riley Casey tied for 38th place with a 6-over 294.
All four Sooners will get back on the course in a couple weeks at the 118th Western Amateur Championship, slated to start July 28 at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Ind.
