New Mexico Junior College golfer Jacob Agerschou had a great tournament in Midland as the Thunderbird freshman shot a tourney-low 201 to take home first place at the TankLogix Invite at Green Tree Country Club in Midland, Texas.
Agerschou shot rounds of 66, 66, and 69 on the par 71 course. The freshman did not have the lowest round on any given day, but when his scores were totaled, he finished one stroke ahead of Odessa College's Sang Park (202).
