"It was fun to watch Jared [Christensen]," said Carthage director of golf and head men's golf coach Jay Christiansen. "[Jared] was playing from the middle of the fairway, hitting his approach shots to the middle of the greens, and making some putts. When he missed the fairway he calmly recovered, and if he missed the green, he barely missed and then was rock solid getting up and down. Never too high, never too low."

"[Christensen's round was] the exact type of round a coach hopes each player sees in their head as the proper way to play ... Great leadership by our fifth-year senior."
