Falcon Golfer Concludes Play at the European Boys’ Team Championship

Pickala Golf, Finland – (July 11, 2015) Bowling Green State University incoming freshman Pablo Heredia concluded his play this week for his Spanish Boys National Team at the 2015 European Boys’ Team Championship in Pickala Golf, Finland.

In the final day of play on July 11, Heredia and Spain defeated Iceland 4.5-0.5 in match play. Playing at the number one spot for the Spanish team, Heredia halved his round of play against Gisli Sveinbergsson of Iceland.

“This was a great experience for Pablo. To represent his country and play against some of the top competition in all of Europe is something he will never forget,” commented Falcons’ head coach Kevin Farrell. “I know this will help Pablo not only in his golf game, but also in his transition to the U.S., Ohio and Bowling Green State University come this fall.”

Overall Spain went 1-2 in the team match play portion of the championship event. In the two rounds of individual stroke play, Heredia finished in a tie for 25th overall with a 36-hole score of 145, +1, with rounds of 73, +1, and 72, even par.

Heredia Falls in Match Play at 2015 British Boys Amateur Championships

Southport, England – (Aug. 13, 2015) Bowling Green State University incoming men’s golf Pablo Heredia saw his time at the 2015 British Boys Amateur Championship come to an end on Thursday, Aug. 13, as the future Falcon fell in match play in round two of the six day event at the Royal Birkdale and Southport & Ainsdale Golf Clubs in England.

“I am proud of Pablo and the way he has played this summer,” stated BGSU men’s golf head coach Kevin Farrell. “I am excited for him, and all the other guys, to get here this fall and begin to get to work for a very tough 2015-16 schedule. Pablo has the potential to come in and compete right away, and to help our team continue to take steps toward challenging in each event we play in.”

Heredia was defeated by Jake Benson of Denmark by two holes, as he took the match all the way to the 18th green with a chance to send the bout onto the 19th hole.

The Sevilla, Spain native got to the match play draw with a two round combined score of 147, +4, over the first two days of stroke play on Aug. 11-12. He carded a first round 73, +1, and a second round 74, +3, to place in a 34th-place overall on the leaderboard and advance to the match play portion of the prestigious amateur event.

ST. MICHAEL’S CATHOLICACADEMY

Dear BGSU Golf Alumni and Fans,

I am very excited to be entering my fourth season at the helm of the men’s golf program here at Bowling Green State University. I have built a schedule this year that is not only based on the strength of our opponents and the strength of the tournament fields, but also includes some smaller events which we will have a chance to compete in and win. The way that the NCAA looks at the postseason is based not only on the strength of schedule by a team, but the team must also be above .500 in terms of head-to-head records against the teams that they compete against in the tournaments all season long. For example, if we go to a 12 team tournament and finish fourth overall at the event, our head-to-head record would be 8-3 for that tournament meaning we finished ahead of eight teams and behind three teams on the team leaderboard. Any team ranked inside the top-70 in the country gets an at large bid to the NCAA Regionals or of course you can win your conference tournament to get an automatic bid into the regionals. If we play well, we have a legitimate chance to sneak into the NCAA Regionals this year. Please try and make time to consider coming back in October for the fundraiser event - the Falcon Scramble at the Belmont Country Club. There will be some awesome prizes and you will get to see the new home of the Falcon men’s golf team!
