The Boilermakers then played holes 13 through 18 in 14-over par to move Purdue further down the leader board. The story, however, of round three was junior Kent Hsiao, who fired a weekend-best, twounder par 70 to finish his tournament in a 34thplace tie at five-over par. Hsiao played the back nine in one-under par and had a chance on 18 to be part of a four-player playoff on Monday morning to gain a spot in the fourth round, but his 10-foot birdie putt just slipped by, ending his NCAA Championships run. His round of 70 was the ninth-best score in round three. His 34th-place finish was Purdue’s highest individual placing in the NCAA Championships since Shiv Kapur in 2004. Herman Sekne ended his Purdue career with a 95th-place finish at 12-over par 228 (73-79-76). Sekne started well in round three with birdies on his first and fourth hole, but suffered five bogeys in an eight-hole stretch midway through the round to drop him out of contention for a spot in Monday’s fourth round. Peyton Snoeberger finished tied for 101st at 13over par 229 (79-73-77). Snoeberger was threeunder par through five holes, but played his last seven holes in six-over par to also drop him out of contention for a spot in Monday’s round. Nels Surtani was 146th at 38-over par 254 (8686-82), while Nick Dentino played the final two rounds in 18-over par (81-81=162).
