Layne leads Falcons in final round in Bandon

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – Air Force senior Isaac Layne led the Air Force golf team in the final round of the Bandon Dunes Championship, Tuesday, March 14, in Bandon, Ore.

Layne made five birdies on the day, including three in a row, to shoot an even par 72. Layne's 151 (+7) was tied for 40^th overall. Sophomore Cameron Kahle shot 76 on day two and came in at 156 for the 36-hole tournament. Freshman Brooks Morrell shot 74 on the final day and shot 158 for the tournament. Freshman Ted Davenport shot 162 and freshman Alvaro Fonseca shot 170. Fonseca recovered from a rough start in round two to play his final nine holes in three-under par, including an eagle on the 363-yard par-4 16^th. On his final hole of the day, Fonseca drove the green and made the putt for the team's only eagle of the tournament.
