WAIKOLOA, Hawaii - Junior Nick Chianello fired a bogey-free 3-under 69 and senior Alex Moore shot his second sub-par round at the 22nd Annual Amer Ari Invitational on Friday to help the Beavers finish 17th in their first tournament of the spring season.
The Beavers shot a 6-over 294 for the second consecutive day at the par-72, 7,074-yard Waikoloa Kings Course and finished the tournament that was ranked as the second toughest in the spring season by Golf Digest with a 15-over 291-294-294--879 to finish 17th in the 20-team field.
"We were so good for nine holes today and then we turned into the wind and didn't handle the adversity very well," Oregon State head coach Jon Reehoorn said. "This is on me. I need to make sure we prepare better and hold them to a higher standard at home. The good news is that we have a lot of golf left to play this spring. We need to put the last few days behind us and move forward with a purpose to get better each day."
Moore shot a 1-under 71 on Friday to equal his opening round and finished in a tie for 43rd place with a 1-over 71-75-71--217. He started his round on the 14th hole and was 4-under through his first 10 holes with birdies on the par-5 18th, par-4 first, par-5 fourth and par-4 fifth holes and before finishing his round with three bogeys.
Chianello fired his second career 3-under round as a Beaver with birdies on the 232-yard par-3 third, 327-yard, par-4 fifth and 501-yard, par-5 18th holes to climb up the leader board and finish the event tied for 49th with a 2-over 74-75-69--218.
Junior Nick Sherwood finished tied for 65th with a 5-over 71-73-77--221, sophomore David Fink wrapped up the tournament with a 7-over 75-71-77--223 for a tie for 76th and freshman Scott Kim ended in 108th place with an 18-over 80-77-77--234. Junior Matt Rawitzer competed as an individual and shot a 13-over 78-77-74--229 for a tie for 101st place.
The Beavers return to the course in three weeks when they travel to Long Beach, Calif., to compete in the Del Walker Collegiate Feb. 27-28 that will be played at the Virginia Country Club.
