Jayhawks end season on low note

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

In the last event of the season and for the first time this fall, the Jayhawks failed to finish the top ten at a tournament. At the Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate in Las Cruces, N.M., Kansas finished in 11th place out of 17 teams on Tuesday afternoon. The Jayhawks dropped from ninth to 11th place during the final round.

Kansas totaled 858 strokes for the tournament. All of the teams were competitive and within just a few strokes of one another.

UNLV won the tournament outright with a score of 829, 23 strokes under par. Fellow Big 12 rivals Kansas State and Nebraska also competed in the tournament with Kansas State coming in third place and Nebraska finishing in seventh place.

A bright note for the Jayhawks was Nate Barbee, Dakota Dunes, S.D., junior, who fired a second straight round under par with a score of 69. Barbee finished in fourth place individually with a total of 206 strokes. The second place finisher shot just one stroke better with a 205 total and there was a tie for first place at 204 strokes. Barbee was just two strokes away from his second victory in the first half of the season.

For the fall season, Barbee collected four top five finishes including a win at the Kansas Invitational in Lawrence.

As for Kansas as a whole, the Jayhawks have been on the decline in the last two tournaments. Starting off strong with two second place finishes and a third, the Jayhawks concluded the season on a low note with a seventh place finish last week at the Bill Ross Intercollegiate and now an 11th place finish to wrap up the season.
