Playing in his first collegiate tournament Provost opened his career by shooting three under par, 69, in the first round and followed it by shooting par in the next two rounds. His final score, 213, placed him 14th in the final individual standings. Two Alabama golfers shot their way in to the top ten and a four-under par finish as Nick Rousey (69-70-73/212) and Lars Brovold (69-74-69/212) both finished tied at eighth. And joining the trio in the top 25 was Mac Butler who shot 72-74-71/217 to finish tied at 22nd. Rounding out the Tide’s second place finishing team was Wesley Pate who shot 80-74-73/227 and finished tied at 57th.
