Today’s third and final round at the NCAA Central Regional was a tough one for the Gopher men’s golf team. Clayton Rask shot nine strokes higher than his Friday round of 69, while Ben Pisani dropped from a tie for 35th to a tie for 93rd after shooting a fourteen-over-par 86. But the team won a playoff against Texas A&M on the first playoff hole to advance to the NCAA Championship beginning May 30 in Virginia.
