Senior golfers help earn repeat victory in San Antonio

Senior leadership and a solid overall team performance helped the Kansas men’s golf team win the Roadrunner Intercollegiate in San Antonio Tuesday.

Senior golfer Kevin Ward emerged as the team’s leader through the back nine. Ward’s final-round score, 67, was the lowest round of the day and the second-lowest round of the tournament next to tournament champion Jeremy Alcorn of Baylor. Alcorn shot 65 in the opening round.

Ward’s four-under-par round on Tuesday propelled the Jayhawks to beat in-state foe Wichita State by two strokes. He was the only player on the team to shoot under par.

Sophomore Tyler Docking remained consistent, finishing the tournament tied for second with a three-round total of 211, which was two-under-par for the tournament. Docking led all Jayhawks for the second straight tournament.

Coach Ross Randall said he was relieved to leave San Antonio with a victory.

“We were lucky to win today,” Randall said. “The guys didn’t play their best but we still won, and I’m pleased with that.”

Senior Andrew Price also played well, finishing the tournament tied for 10th overall with a three-round total of 216.

Sophomore Gary Woodland contributed with a total score of 223, junior Pete Krsnich finished with a combined score of 225 and junior Luke Trammell, playing as an individual, shot a three-round total of 232.

The Jayhawks will try to keep their momentum after winning their first tournament of the spring. They will be in action next week at the Louisiana Classic in Lafayette, La.
