Men’s golf

Second set of Jayhawks heads to Big 12 tourney

The Kansas men’s golf team begins the Big 12 Championship today at Prairie Dunes Golf Club in Hutchinson. The tournament is a two-day, 54-hole event.

Senior Gary Woodland, who finished seventh at last year’s tournament, will lead the Jayhawks. This season Woodland has three victories and five other six other top-10 finishes. Fellow senior Tyler Docking looks to build off his career-best 20th place finish. This season, he has six top-10 finishes.

Senior Barrett Martens, junior Joey Mundy and sophomore Walt Koelbel will be making their first appearances at the tournament.

Rugby

The Kansas men’s club rugby team defeated Northwest Missouri State University 28-10 in its final home match of the season on Saturday at the Westwick Rugby Complex, south of Lawrence.

The team scored tries on several long scrambles as well as a maul, where senior Zach Nelson was stopped momentarily until his teammates smashed into the mob of tacklers and pushed him into the try zone.

Sophomore jumper Adam Lauridsen was injured during the match, forcing several of the Jayhawks to play out of position.

This was the first match-up in the history of the two club teams. Northwest Missouri State’s team was not formed until recently.

“We matched up evenly in size, but it just came down to us being the more experienced team,” he said.
