Mathias shot 70 and finished in a 3 way tie for runner-up at 143.
The team struggled to a first round 303 and found themselves in 5th as a team going into the finale. The Westerners moved up and finished 3rd in the 7 team, 55 player field after posting a strong round of 290 in the windy afternoon conditions at Midland Country Club.
The Nationally ranked Westerners(currently #2) finished the fall with winning head to head records against every team in the region. WTC will not be back in action til the spring season cranks up in mid February!

Oct. 13-14 -- Odessa College Invitational
Kyle Lucas and Mathias Boesmans and Julian Hilbertz all played well and finished in the top 10 individually. As a team we played pretty solid, just didn't do anything special, and we finished 4th. It is difficult to beat every team every week when you are playing a very strong schedule against a handful of top 10 ranked teams in every competition! The three teams that topped us this week are all ranked in the top 5 in the country and we have beaten each of them more than once. I'll give the guys take a couple days off and then we will get back to work and be ready for the Midland College Invitational on November 6-7.
