Invitational on Tuesday.

All Oaks Shoot 2-Over-Par 74 Or Better In Final Round
Pagliughi elevated his position by three spots with 12 pars and five more birdies leading him to a 3-under-par 69 in his last trip through the course on Tuesday. He started his back nine by birdying three consecutive holes and would end the tournament with a 8-under-par 208 to best his own program record of a 7-under-par 209 that came at the Wildcat Classic to start the season.

Less than 24 hours after his program-record 6-under par 66 in the second round, sophomore Chase Yukawa served as the second Oak to qualify, tying for ninth at a 4-under-par 212 that was just one stroke off his season best. Parring seven of his first nine holes, the Roseville native added two more birdies to finish with a 2-over-par 74. Starting with his lone eagle of the tournament, junior Emmett Shell birdied three more times en route to a 1-over-par 73 that helped him tie for 18th a 1-under-par 215. Freshman Bennet Brand rounded out the Oaks' top four with 15 pars helping give him a tournament-best 41, a 1-over-par 73 like Shell, and a season-low 3-over-par 219 good for a share of 33rd place overall.
