Boenning's final round pushes Cougs to seventh in Coeur d'Alene
Boenning's final round was the kind of finish that makes you glad you stayed up for it. The Cougs climbed to seventh place at the Coeur d'Alene tournament, and if you watched how Boenning closed things out, you saw a golfer who didn't just play the course, he attacked it. Seventh isn't a trophy, but it's a step. And on a leaderboard that packed some serious competition, the Cougs held their ground when it mattered.
That's the kind of grit we've been seeing across the board lately. If you missed our piece on the Oregon State game, "Cougs take Oregon State to the edge but can't close it out," you saw the same fight, just a different result. That one stung. This one feels a little better. Both tell you something about this team: they don't fold easy.
Pullman doesn't get a lot of golf headlines, but Coeur d'Alene is close enough to feel like home turf. And when a Coug plays that well in a tight field, it's worth a mention. No hype. Just respect for a round that moved the needle. Go Cougs.
