McCarthy (Danville, Calif./De La Salle HS) shot a 2-over 212 (70-69-73) over the two days at the par-70 Goose Creek Golf Club. He finished four shots back of the winner, Witchayapat Sinnsrang of Omaha.
 
He had a total of eight birdies and one eagle over the course of the tournament. Monday morning's first-round even-par included three birdies.

McCarthy's 56th career below-par round on Monday gave him sole possession of the third place on the Waves' all-time list and broke a tie with head coach Michael Beard. He added to his career totals of 16 top-10 finishes and 29 top-20 finishes, which rank ninth and seventh, respectively, in Pepperdine history.
