Bemidji – Before Monday, Logan Schoepp’s personal record was a 64 out of one by 69.
Bemidji’s male golf senior has entered his last campaign with the Beavers less than six months old
Individual victory with thread at the NSIC tournament
Last spring. He entered his latest college tournament at Bemidji Town and Country Club with a chip on his shoulder.
Schoepp carded a 64 out of one by 71 on Monday at the Bemidji State Invitational. He broke the Beavers program for the best score in an individual tour by three strokes.
He supported it with a 70 in his second round, beating the rest of the field by at least six strokes.
“Earlier last week in the qualifications, I was so close that I felt like I was going to break through and go there,” said Schoepp. “This is exactly what happened. I made very few errors. No bogeyes, of course. Some of the guys called an unconventional 64 because I did not do the numbers 9 and 10 very well, and that’s where you make hay.”
Schoepp entered the Tour Monday at four on Monday, with birdies at n ° 2 and 8 with an eagle on n ° 4. He finished his round with birdies out of three of the last seven holes.
Tuesday, Schoepp was at a sub-pair on the Tour. He paired in his last seven holes to win his second consecutive college competition.

“When you turn something like a 64, it’s just different from the next day,” said Schoepp. “It’s about maintaining what you have done and choosing places to be aggressive. You do this, you will help your team close it. ”
The first-year head coach of the BSU, Ben Corbid, was once a teammates with Schoepp during the 2022-23 season. They each helped to win the NSIC tournament team championship.
Now Corbid is at the helm, and Schoepp opens the way on the links.
“It’s a calm confidence with him,” said Corbid. “He’s not a flashy guy; He will not go there and will not be exuberant on the course. He is a guy who remains stable and trusts his game. Some days, they fall, and when it starts to roll for him, he is deadly.
“Carding a 64 out of one by 71, which is generally a 72, and destroying the program record in a single three shots, it is not something that I saw coming, but I’m glad he did it.”
If it was not for Schoepp, a pair of beavers would have been in equality for three for the victory with Concordia-St. Paul’s Chase Camilli has two sous.

Teagan Laplante shot from the consecutive 1970s on Monday and Tuesday with seven birdies and an eagle in 36 holes.
“Teagan was stable,” said Corbid. “His striking ball was phenomenal. He drives the ball so well. He hit his irons so well.
First year student Julius Arenkiel also fired out of 140. He was an equal on Monday before moving on to three sous. Arenkiel did seven BTCC birdies in his second round.
“He loves it,” said Corbid. “This is the first time that we have seen him in competition mode. He just likes to compete. The smile on his face when you say hello on one by three, he smiles just in his ear. It brings you a little love for the game. He works so hard, and he deserves it completely.”
As a team, Bemidji’s condition finished nine sous, which was 20 strokes better than Concordia-St. Paul, 24 shots better than the state of Minnesota and 25 shots better than Augustana.

“It is good to prove that some people are wrong,” said Schoepp. “We had a good field here, with CSP, Mankato and (Augustana). This makes a difference when the teams you play are good and you get out of it with a big victory.”
Corbbid team B finished in fifth place at 22 on peer. Cullen Ryan even finished peer in both rounds to place fifth individually.
“The guys are growing hard at the moment,” said Corbid. “They stand for each other. You want your teammates to win, but you also want to beat them. The internal competition makes you strong. There are several guys that I could see in our top five. I could play several guys and dig in the bench to find a very good player at any time. ”
By moving the coaches of Ekren Miller to Corbid, the depth of BSU is always abundant.

“You mainly spend nine tournaments to find the five guys who will do it,” said Corbid. “Having so many people where, if a guy is in crisis, I had a guy just behind him who will take over.”
For Corbid, his expectations for his first victory as a head coach of Bemidji was brief. He
took over to Miller in August,
Having spent two years as an assistant.
“This is an unprecedented circumstance, that’s for sure,” said Corbid. “It excites me, but it didn’t surprise me that we were there.
