Tough conditions along with a tough course were too much for the Kansas men’s golf team last week. The Jayhawks finished 15th out of 17 teams at the Hawaii-Hilo Invitational. The Jayhawks played their best on the last day of competition, shooting a 301 after scores of 309 and 314 the previous two days.
These scores put Kansas at a total of 924 for the tournament, 73 strokes behind Southern California, who topped the team leader board at 851, followed in second by Washington at 862. Other Big 12 teams competing had more success than the Jayhawks in Hawaii. Colorado finished in 6th place with an 874 while Texas Tech followed closely at 876 in eighth place. Oklahoma tied with Florida State at 890.
Individually for the Jayhawks, sophomore South Dakota native Nate Barbee was the top scorer with a 231, including a team best 73 in the final round. This put him tied for 69th in the overall leader board. Other Kansas scores were Walt Koelbel at 232, Blake Giroux with 233, Andrew Storm in with 238, and Ian Anson finishing at 241.
Winning individual medalist honors for the tournament was Nick Taylor out of Washington who finished with a 210. This placed him just one stroke ahead of second place Jaime Lovemark from Southern California and two strokes ahead of Washington teammates Richard Lee and Chris Killmer.
After a rough outing in Hawaii, the men’s golf team has a month-long break to prepare for their second spring tournament. March 9 and 10, the Jayhawks will play in the Louisiana Classics tournament in Lafayette, La.
