Fryer Named Top Golfer For April

Long Beach State junior Joe Fryer (Bristol, England/Kamiak HS) earned his third career Big West Men’s Golfer of the Month award as he strung together three top-15 finishes in April, including individual medalist honors at the UCSB Intercollegiate.

In a tune-up for the Big West Championship, Fryer claimed the title with a 4-over 220 to help his squad to a second place finish at Sandpiper Golf Course.  He shot a 1-under par 71 in the first round.

Fryer began the month at the Seattle U Redhawk Invitational, posting a 10-over par 223 that tied him for 12th overall in a field of 87.  The Beach finished fourth among 17 teams.  He moved up 10 spots from a tie for 22nd place on the final day as he carded a 1-over 72.

In between those tournaments, Fryer tied for third place at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic in Chandler, Ariz.  Helping LBSU to its third top-5 team finish for the month, Fryer strung together three consecutive rounds of under par scores.

Finishing with a 7-under 209 at the Whirlwind Golf Club, Fryer saved his best for the final 18 as she shot a 68.  He weaved in four birdies into the round without a single bogey.  After shooting 71 and 70 through the first 36 holes, he improved in each round to climb a total of nine slots on the leaderboard.

LBSU has finished in the top 5 in five consecutive tournaments.
