The Men’s Golf team finished in sixth place at 54 over par this weekend at Turning Stone-Tiger Intercollegiate in Verona, N.Y. Purdue won the tournament finishing 33 over par. Missouri, tournament host, finished three strokes back at 36 over to take second. Bowling Green State University, University of Connecticut and Central Connecticut State University rounded out the top five, shooting 39, 44, and 50 over par respectively.
“It was very disappointing,” said coach Kit Grove. “We had a few teams that beat us that we felt like we should have beaten.”
Sophomore Chris Gilbert led the Jayhawks shooting 10 over par and finishing in a tie for 15th place. His second day 70 was a tie for the second lowest individual round all weekend.
Junior Doug Quinones finished in a tie for 28th place after shooting a final round 74 to put him at 15 over in his first tournament for the Jayhawks. Quinones transferred from New Mexico Junior College this year.
“David and Doug both had it going pretty good,” Grove said. “It was good to see those guys hang in there. It was just too bad that they didn’t get much help from some of our more experienced guys.”
Senior Captain Nate Barbee and freshman David Cattboth finished the weekend tied for 39th place. Barbee opened up the weekend well shooting 74 in the first round and Catt rebounded strong after a rough opening round shooting 76 and 74 to close out the weekend.
Sophomore Dan Waite rounded out the Jayhawks shooting 24 over to put him in a tie for 57th place.
Jakob Ziegler from Oakland University won the individual tournament, shooting 215 to put him 1 under par for the tournament. Ziegler finished six strokes ahead of a four-way tie for second place.
Grove will try and shake things up next week when the Jayhawks travel to compete in the Fairway Club Invitational in Nebraska City, Neb., next week.
“The lineup will change quite a bit,” he said. “Half of our team is new. I think it could take us a while to figure out who we really are. It is our first time out of the gate, so we don’t want to put too much stock into one tournament. But at the same time, there aren’t a lot of positives to say and we have got a lot of work to be done.”
