CALDWELL, Idaho – The College of Idaho men's and women's golf teams welcomed Northwest Nazarene University to TimberStone Golf Course on Friday for a unique Ryder Cup-style dual competition, with golfers paired together across the 18-hole layout in a modified match play format.
The Yotes turned in several standout individual performances on their home course, highlighted by a tournament-best 66 from
Lucas Rynearson and a stellar 73 from
InkJung Charnchanayothin on the women's side.
The men's competition featured tightly contested pairings throughout the afternoon as The College of Idaho battled the Nighthawks hole-for-hole.
Rynearson delivered the round of the day, carding a brilliant 6-under-par 66. The Yote senior recorded seven birdies in his round, including back-to-back birdies on holes six and seven, to post the lowest score among all competitors.
Reid Hoppock also produced a strong performance, shooting a 74. Hoppock eagled the fourth hole and closed his round in impressive fashion, birdieing three of his final four holes.
Francisco Carvalho added a 75 for the Yotes, while
Pablo Hinojos finished at 76. The duo both birdied the third hole and remained steady throughout their pairing.
Carson King finished with a 77 and supplied one of the Yotes' two eagles on the day with a spectacular effort on the seventh hole.
Nathan Ishaya carded a 79, while
Holden Howell posted an 80 and
Drisan Booth rounded out the scoring with an 81.
On the women's side, the pairing of Charnchanayothin and
Samantha Kingsbury led the way for The College of Idaho with a victory over Northwest Nazarene's top duo of Carolyn Rose and Hope Reid.
Fresh off her recent tournament win at the Beartooth Invitational, Charnchanayothin continued her strong fall form by firing a tournament best 73. She recorded three birdies during her round and provided a steady presence throughout the match.
Kingsbury complemented the effort with an 82 that included a birdie of her own as the Yotes' top pairing secured a key victory.
Olivia Lammey finished with an 81, while
Halle Richter followed closely with an 84.
Kylee Scroggs carded an 85 and highlighted her day with a stretch of four consecutive pars.
Karissa Goff completed the Yote lineup with a 90.
The College of Idaho returns to action Oct. 12-13 when the Yotes travel to Lewiston, Idaho, for the Lewis-Clark State Fall Invitational at Lewiston Golf & Country Club.
