2009-10 ~ Showing that his redshirt freshman season was well spent, Bauch set the pace for the Tigers during the 2009 fall semester. A torrid start in his first tournament, Bauch posted a three-under 207 to finish in 13th place and kept the momentum going at the Bill Cullum where he finished 22nd. The freshman then shot a 66 in only his third collegiate tournament, the Pacific Invitational on his way to collecting his third Top 25 of the season. At the halfway point of the year Bauch had accumulated a 71.6 scoring average and six rounds at par or better. The SoCal native looks to remain a permanent fixture in Goethals' line-up entering the second half of the season.
