Coming off a third place finish in the Fairway Club Invitational in Nebraska City, Neb., last week, the men’s golf team will host the Kansas Invitational today and tomorrow at Alvamar Golf Club.
With two freshmen and one sophomore, Kansas hopes for its underclassman to lead the team.
“We have the chance to be a really sneaky team,” said coach Kit Grove. “Right now we are just gaining some experience.”
Sophomore Nate Barbee, who had a career best fourth-place finish last week, believes that coming home to Lawrence will help the team.
“Being at our home course, if we all play our game, I don’t see why we shouldn’t win,” Barbee said.
Freshmen Ian Anson and Blake Giroux, who placed 25th and 42nd in last week’s tournament, will look for more consistency on the course. In the Fairway Club Invitational, Anson scored 75 in both rounds and Giroux scored 78 and 76 respectively.
“With some maturity some of these guys are looking to grind out 73 and 74 instead of high 70s or over 80,” coach Grove said.
Seniors Walt Koelbel and Andrew Storm round out the Jayhawks starting five and senior Zach Pederson will compete as an individual. Pederson has finished in the top-20 in each of the three tournaments at the Kansas Invitational.
