Clemson, S.C.—Bryson Nimmer picked up his second career individual medalist honors at the Maui Jim Intercollegiate at the Mirabel Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona on Sunday. His final round of 65 on the par 70 course helped Clemson to a 274 team score and sixth in the 14-team field.
Nimmer became just the fourth Clemson golfer to win consecutive medalist honors, the first since 2001-02. That year D.J. Trajan won the Carpet Classic and the Jerry Pate Invitational in consecutive events. Others to do it are Kevin Johnson, 1987-88 t the ACC and the Schenkel, and Jimmy White in 1974-75 at the College of Charleston Invitational and the State Intercollegiate.
Nimmer now has three rounds of 65 or better this year, already tied for the most in a season in Clemson history. Former teammate Doc Redman had three rounds of 65 or better in 2016-17. With his incredible performance in the first two tournaments, Nimmer now has the career mark for rounds of 65 or better with six.
Nimmer trailed Arizona State’s Chun An Yu by one shot entering the final round, but his round of 65 was not the best round of the day. Alex Shead of Augusta shot a 64 in the final round.
