Chris Crisologo has wasted little time in getting his sophomore season with the Simon Fraser University men’s golf team off to an outstanding start.
The Richmond native fired a tournament record 8-under 63 in the final round to capture individual honours at Saint Martin’s University Men’s Golf Invitational Tournament on the weekend. at the Olympia Golf & Country Club.
Crisologo even flirted with the course record at the Olympia Golf and Country Club, finishing one stroke off that mark. It was the lowest tournament score ever recorded by an SFU team member in a collegiate event, according to records that date back several decades.
The Vancouver College graduate was tied for ninth after Friday’s first two rounds. He took medalist honors by six strokes after firing 73 and 70 over the opening 36 holes.
“Chris had a remarkable round and it’s the lowest tournament score ever recorded by one of our athletes at least in my time here,” said Clan head coach John Buchanan. “He was hitting the ball really well.”
Crisologo had one eagle, 13 birdies and 33 pars during the tournament.
Last season, he named to the NCAA Division II PING All-America Second Team by the Golf Coaches Association of America in 2014. He was also selected the GNAC Freshman of the Year in 2014 and tied the low round of the year in the conference with a 66 at the GNAC Championships.
