PEBBLE BEACH, CALIF. -- TCU senior Paul Barjon posted a top 10 finish and TCU climbed two spots on the team leaderboard on the final day of competition as the Horned Frogs concluded play in the Carmel Cup at Pebble Beach Golf Links on Sunday afternoon.
Barjon finished one-over-par for the tournament after posting a final round 75, shooting 217 for the event (71-71-75). It is the seventh career top 10 finish in a collegiate event for Barjon and first since the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate in February. Barjon improved on his score in the same event from a year ago by four strokes after finish tied for 29th last year at Pebble Beach after three rounds of play.
TCU finished the tournament in sixth place among eight highly ranked teams, posting a 26-over par 1106 (377-362-367) for the three-day event and finished just seven strokes outside the top five. Oklahoma State took home top honors at the event after posting a five-under par score for the event. Every team in the field was either ranked or receiving votes in the Bushnell Golfweek Preseason Coaches Poll, including the Horned Frogs -- who were second among those receiving votes in the poll. No. 11 Vanderbilt and No. 12 Georgia lead the pack of four ranked teams in the field.
Chelso Barrett finished the event in 23rd place and was four-over par for the tournament followed by Pierre Mazier's five-over par performance to stay inside the top 30. Sarosh Adi (+10, T37th), Giulio Castagnara (+11, 39th) and Turner MacLean (+17, T45th) closed out the lineup for TCU.
Historic Pebble Beach, the site of six major championships, most recently hosted the U.S. Open in 2010. The championship will return in 2019 to the course that has seen such major champions as Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Tom Kite and Tom Watson.
