BANDON, ORE. – The No. 11 University of Washington men's golf team posted its sixth top two showing of the season as it finished second at the Bandon Dunes Championship on Tuesday with its 3-under 849 (286-281-282). The Dawgs, who were one of two teams to finish under par on the prestigious Bandon Dunes course, were led by led by senior Henry Lee who tied for fifth at 2-under 211.

"It was tough conditions today but we played well overall," said head coach Alan Murray. "Paul had a great round with his 67 while Noah had a great day with his 1-under. Henry also shot 1 over and played well, he just kind of had some difficulties with the wind. Bo had a tough day on the greens but was still impressive and it just wasn't Petr's week but he still competed hard. Overall it was a great test for us and to add another top two finish to our season record is great, I was proud of the guys and how they competed on a difficult course in tough conditions, especially today."

Lee turned in a 2-under 211 with rounds of 70-69-72. The senior's final round was his highest score but he still was able to climb one spot on the leaderboard for his fifth top-5 finish of the season.

He was followed on the board by junior Noah Woolsey who matched his best score of the event on Tuesday with a 1-under 70 to jump 11 spots into a tie for 12^th.

The junior used four birdies over Tuesday's round to finish with an even-par 213 (70-73-70).

Also tied for 12^th was sophomore Paul Margolis who's time at Bandon Dunes got better by the day as he turned in seven birdies during his final round. Margolis recorded his second-straight sub-70 round and improved upon his day one score by 10 strokes.
