Pichaikool Shoots 72 On Final Day At NCAA Baton Rouge Regional

May 17, 2017 | Men's Golf

Baton Rouge, La. – Peng Pichaikool saved the best for last at the NCAA Baton Rouge (La.) Regional, firing an even-par 72 to close out his freshman season.

Pichaikool jumped 15 spots to finish in a tie for 35^th. It is the fifth-best finish by a Bulldog individual in an NCAA Regional, and the highest since Chad Ramey tied for 45^th in 2012.

"Even though my scores didn't turn out the way I wanted, I learned a lot about my game," Pichaikool said. "I'm looking forward to making some good adjustments over the summer."

Pichaikook finished the back nine at even par, and quickly jumped to 2-under after making the turn with birdies on the first and third holes. After a double bogey on No. 6 and a bogey on the seventh, the Bangkok, Thailand, native answered with a birdie 2 on the 188-yard, par-3 eighth.

After joining the program in January, the All-SEC Freshman Team selection wrapped the spring with a 71.15 scoring average and four Top-10 finishes.
