Junior Veikka Viskari posted his best round at the Arizona regional of the NCAA Championship on Wednesday, recording the fourth-best round in the 75-golfer field during the last 18 holes of play.
Viskari carded a final-round 67, collecting six birdies on the day to go against just one bogey for his five-under tally. After a clean front nine that included birdies on the second and sixth holes, Viskari added four more on the back nine, including the final three holes of the tournament.
Overall, his score of 67 is tied for the sixth-best 18-hole score in Mizzou's regional history with his -5 tally the best by a Tiger since Alfons Bondesson in 2023. Viskari finished the tournament at +3, improving his score in each round (78-74-67).
The first Tiger to compete as an individual at the regional rounds of the NCAA Championship since 2021, Viskari led the Tigers throughout his junior campaign, posting a team-best stroke average of 71.92 this season – an improvement of 1.66 strokes from his sophomore year.
