Oklahoma senior Patrick Welch catches fire in the desert at NCAA Championship

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Wake Forest’s Alex Fitzpatrick set a tough bar to limbo under with his bogey-free 65 on Saturday.

Patrick Welch said hold my birdie and danced his way around Grayhawk Golf Club during Sunday’s third round to the tune of a bogey-free, 7-under 63, tying the 2022 NCAA Div. I Men’s Golf Championship record at the tricky track in the desert set at last year’s championship by Arizona State’s Ryggs Johnston.

“I hit pretty much every green. I think I missed one by like two feet,” said Welch of round. “I was giving myself so many chances all day, 20 feet, 10 feet, five feet, they were all realistic looks. I was putting it well today and I was fortunate enough for most of them to go in.”
