WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Colorado junior Derek Tolan struggled to a third-round 84 on Friday, missing the cut to advance to the final round of the 111th Annual NCAA Men's Golf Championship Finals.

Tolan finished with a 54-hole total of 235, 19-over par. He represented the Buffaloes as an individual this week after CU came up short in its bid to qualify as a full team at the NCAA Central Regional earlier this month.

Tolan just couldn't get things rolling out of the chute Friday Starting on No. 10, he bogeyed his first five holes before scoring a par, then finished up the side with bogey-par-double bogey to turn at 8-over 44.

"He never caught fire today," CU head coach Roy Edwards said. "If you're off here, you get hammered."

"There was no philosophical angle to it, I just played bad," Tolan said after his round. "I got off to a horrible start, and while I never really got away from my game plan, none of my shots went where I wanted them to go."

Tolan was the first Buff golfer to compete in the NCAA Finals since 2002, when the entire team qualified and tied for 14th, and the first to qualify individually since 1993.
