Six of Golfstat's top 10 NCAA Division II men's golfers, and 14 of the top 29, participated in last week's loaded NCAA Division II South/Southeast Super Regional Preview at Mission Inn Golf and Tennis Resort in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida. Chico State's Alistair Docherty – our Wildcat of the Week – was the only one to shoot par or better in all three rounds. His final round 1-under par 71 was the lone sub-par round in the 95-man field Tuesday.
Â
Docherty finished tied for second, a shot behind teammate Lee Gearhart, as the Wildcats made a mad dash for the tournament title before falling just two shots short. He entered the event as the eighth-ranked golfer in Division II.
Â
Docherty delivered consecutive even-par rounds of 72 Monday. Tuesday, he birdied holes nine and 10 to get to 1-under par and made his fourth birdie of the day on 17. Only four players shot par Tuesday and he was the only one to finish under par.
Â
Docherty played the par 3s and par 5s as well as anyone in the field. He tied for the tournament lead by shooting 1-under on the par 3s and led the tournament at 7-under on the par 5s.
Â
Docherty and the Wildcats will be back in action next week at the Notre Dame de Namur Argonaut Invitational at Poppy Ridge Golf Course in Livermore.
