He shot 71 twice, including the season-opening University of Maine Farmington Invitational held at Waterville Country Club when he took home medalist honors. Butkevich was a model of consistency, posting a score no higher than 76 in any event. He was twice named Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Player of the Week.
