Golfers finish 15th overall in North Carolina

Monday, April 13, 2009

Walt Koelbel’s 68 in the final round led the Kansas men’s golf team in its 15th place finish at the River Landing Intercollegiate tournament in Wallace, N.C. Koelbel tied for 19th place while fellow senior Andrew Storm fired a 74, finishing in 40th place.

“We struggled a bit but we have one more tournament before the (Big 12) tournament,” Storm said. “We just need to play better to get prepared for that.”

Collectively KU played its best golf in the final round, carding a 296 for a three-round total of 899.

Freshman Ian Anson shot his first sub-80 round of the tournament in the last round with a 77. Bryan Hackenberg and Zach Pederson chipped in with 68th and 74th place finishes, respectively.

“We’re trying our best right now, but without a doubt we can play a lot better,” Storm said.

The team will be back in action this weekend in College Station at the Texas A&M Aggie Invitational.
