Gorzell turned in another consistent round in Thursday's finals, shooting even-par to win the individual regional championship at the Golf Club of Texas.
“I was pretty sad about Pecan. I was looking forward to putting on those greens again,” said Tredo, who signed with Texas State. “The turf at Pecan is so much more full and you get rewarded for good shots. This course is a lot more unforgiving.”
He sank half as many birdies (three) as he Taylormade R11 fairway wood did on Wednesday, but it was enough to hold off Victoria West's Trevor Vega, who finished a stroke behind at 142.
Gorzell will have company at state.
“That hurt pretty bad,” he said.
Boerne Champion earned its second straight second-place team finish, placing 15 strokes behind champion Lake Travis.
Champion led Cedar Park by a stroke after Day 1, but outplayed the Timberwolves on Thursday to claim the final state berth, 610-621.
The change in venue didn't help. He fired ping rapture v2 irons twin 67s at Pecan Valley to win last year's title. The course closed in January.
“We all told ourselves that we're chasing Lake Travis and not trying to just stay ahead of Cedar Park,” Lozano said. “That mindset helped a lot.”
Champion senior Scott Tredo, the defending regional champ, didn't have his usual success, shooting 149 to place seventh overall.
Sophomore Zander Lozano paced the Chargers, carding 74s on both days. He picked up three birdies on the last five holes of the course to close the day strong.
But the Smithson Valley senior didn't get ahead of himself. After all, he already experienced disappointment at the tournament last year when he came up three strokes short of qualifying for state.
He'll be back on familiar turf discount golf clubs at Jimmy Clay Golf Course for the state tournament April 30 and May 1. He hopes the Chargers can improve on their seventh-place 2011 finish.
“(Shooting 69), it kind of made me want to stay level-headed,” Gorzell said. “It's easy after playing that well to kind of fall off. I just had to focus more.”
