MEN’S GOLF
Team looks to get off to a good start in new season
After a sixth place finish in the Big 12 Championship last season, the men’s golf team will compete in one of its four scheduled tournaments for the fall season today in the Nebraska Fairway Club Invitational. The event is at ArborLinks Golf Course (par-72, 7,158 total yards) in Nebraska City, Neb.
“We have a lot of young players this year, but we will be a better team than we were last season,” said coach Kit Grove.
Seniors Walt Koelbel and Andrew Storm, junior Patrick Roth and sophomore Nate Barbee return from last year’s team. Freshman Ian Anson and redshirt freshman Blake Giroux will make their debut for the Jayhawks.
“Ian has been playing very well,” said Grove. “I expect him to be a big contributor this year.”
The 54-hole event will be held for the first time since 2005 and Kansas’ last victory came in 1999, in the tournament’s inaugural year.
