Last round washed out

Rainy weather took the Kansas mens golf team out of the running for a top finish at Saturday’s Courtyard by Marriot Intercollegiate. Kansas had its final round of play canceled and finished in a tie for ninth place at Devils Ridge Golf Club in Holly Springs, N.C.

“Obviously we’re a little disappointed that we didn’t get to finish the golf tournament,” coach Ross Randall said. “We felt that the cool and windy weather would have been good for us, and we would have been able to move up the leaderboard.”

It was the Jayhawks worst finish since Feb. 11, when Kansas finished in 11th place at the Taylor Made/Big Island Intercollegiate.

The Duke Blue Devils won the tournament after the final round of play was canceled.

The Blue Devils shot 16-under-par as a team to win the tournament for the second straight year, defeating ACC Conference rival Wake Forest by one shot.

The Devils were led by freshman Michael Schachner and junior Ryan Blaum in the second round, as both players fired rounds of 68.

Georgia Southern senior Aron Price won the tournament as an individual by six strokes. He shot a 64 in the first round, followed by a 66 in the second round for a total score of 130, 14-under-par.

For the second straight tournament and for the third time this spring rain has cut tournaments short. Two weeks ago, Kansas was unable to build on its second place standing after two rounds in the 59th Western Intercollegiate. Saturday, the Jayhawks were once again unable to make a late move up the leaderboard.

The Jayhawks finished the tournament with a two-round total of 580, four-over-par. Junior Luke Trammell, junior Pete Krsnich, and senior Kevin Ward led the way for the team with identical two-round totals of 145, one-over-par for the tournament.

All three players tied for 27th.

Sophomore Tyler Docking shot two rounds of 73 for a two-round score of 146 to tie for 33rd. Sophomore Gary Woodland shot a total score of 150 for the Jayhawks. The men will have a few weeks to regroup before the Big 12 Championships. The team will begin play April 29 at Whispering Pines Golf Club in Trinity, Texas.
