Bellevue Men’s Golf Stage Huge Comeback to take Spokane Bigfoot Invite Title

Date posted: October 6, 2014

After seeing tourney host Spokane shoot even par on day one of the Bigfoot Invite for a six shot lead, Bellevue’s men’s golf team took matters into their own hands by firing a team total of 12 under par on day two and overtook day one leader Spokane for the team title by six shots. The tourney, held Saturday October 4 at Esmeralda GC and Sunday October 5 at historic Indian Canyon GC, is the second straight win for the Bellevue men’s golf team. The Bulldogs’ 12 shot flip of standings (down by 6 after day one, shooting 12 under to win by 6 on day two) goes down as one of the greatest comebacks in the program’s rich history. Taylor Smith fired a 70-69 to lead Bellevue and finished second overall in the individual standings. Chad Hall shot 71-70, Elias Tunison shot 72-68, Jack Strickland shot 74-68, Brady Campbell fired a 73-74, and Max Tuckner had the biggest turnaround from day one to two, shooting a respectable 76 at Esmeralda before going low with a 67 at Indian Canyon. The 272 stroke total on day two is one of the best in the program’s short, but rich history.

The BC Men's and Women's Teams both captured titles at the Bigfoot Invite held at Esmeralda GC and Indian Canyon GC.
