GoFrogs: Laussot Narrowly Misses Advancing
BRYAN, Texas – Aymeric Laussot made birdie on three of the last four holes to move up the leaderboard at the NCAA Regional in Bryan, Texas on Wednesday, but failed to advance out of a 4-person playoff.
Laussot made six birdies in the third round to shoot 3-under 69, which tied regional champion Joe Highsmith (-6) of Pepperdine for the low score of the day. It was Laussot's seventh sub-70 round of the season. He tied for fifth place with an overall score of 3-under 213, the third time he's finished in the top 10.
The junior's birdie on No. 18 forced a playoff with Alabama's Canon Claycomb, Oregon State's Carson Barry and SMU's Noah Goodwin, all top players on non-advancing teams. In the first playoff hole, Laussot found the fairway bunker off the tee and managed a bogey, while Barry and Goodwin made par. Barry advanced on the second playoff hole for the right to compete at the NCAA Championships.
TCU's Justin Gums finished the final round 3-over 75. He shot 3-over 219 and finished tied for 24th place.
