Utah Tech continued its 2022 fall season with a 15^th-place showing at the Oregon State Invitational played on Monday and Tuesday at the Trysting Tree Golf Club in Corvallis.

After waiting through a fog delay on Monday morning, the Trailblazers began tournament play with an opening plus-16 300 to stand in a two-way tie for 12^th. UT followed that up with its low round of the event with a 12-over 296, which was completed on Tuesday morning after the round was suspended Monday evening due to darkness. 
 
Despite the four-stroke improvement in their second loop, the Blazers fell three spots to 15^th and they could not make up any ground on the field as a final round 19-over 303 kept the team in that spot at plus-47 899. 

Kansas State (285-278-286) was the lone team in the field that finished in red numbers at minus-3 849 to win the team title, 14 shots clear of runner-up Washington State (284-284-295-863; +11), while Tarleton State (290-288-287-865; +13) placed third. 

Senior Davis Heslington (70-73-74) posted his second top-20 showing of the fall as he joined five others tied for 17^th at plus-4 217. Heslington opened with a 1-under 70, which he followed up with a second round 2-over 73 and a 3-over 74 on Tuesday. The sophomore also tied for 17^th-overall in the 84-player field in total birdies with nine. 
 
Freshman Zach Felts (77-72-74) bounced back from an opening 5-over 77 with a 1-over 72 on his second loop, and a final round 74 to finish t-44^th at plus-10 223. Fellow freshman Parker Reese (78-77-76) followed in t-72^nd at plus-18 231, and senior Tyler Jones (75-81-79) and freshman Maddox Vincent (81-74-8) tied for 79^that plus-22 235.

Utah Tech will wrap up its 2021 fall slate at the Pacific-hosted Visit Stockton Invitational on October 20-22, in Stockton, Calif.
