UNT golf alum Rodolfo Cazaubon in the olympics

outoftown · July 19, 2016

UNT alumn Rodolfo Cazaubon had just missed out on qualifying for Rio, but since several players have pulled out and he was the first replacement, we will now see him there. This should be good exposure for him, given that it is a tournament with only 60 players.

There is also still a small chance that UNT alumn Sebastian Munoz will make the field if there are a few more withdrawals.

Starting today. Rodolfo is playing in a group with Austrian Wiesberger and South African Brandon Stone. The start didn't go great, as he is at +2 after 4 holes. I think the golf channel (which I don't have) is carrying this event live.

Didn't go too well. Rodolfo finished his round with a +5 76. Well at least he is currently even with Rickie Fowler.

Rodolfo Started red hot to todays round. He is -4 for the day after the first 5 holes, with 3 birdies, one bogey and an eagle. He has moved up to tied for 10th now.

Unrelated to UNT Rickie Fowler is having an awesome round. -7 for the day after ten holes. This could be a round for the ages.

finished the day at minus 3. and is tied for 15th. The medals are likely gone, but that is still within shoudting distance of an olympic diploma. Also it means he'll play rather late tomorrow, should be good exposure.
