Cowboy Golf Slips on Final Day of Falcon Invitational
Sept. 9, 2007
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Complete Results in PDF Format The University of Wyoming Cowboy golf team completed their first tournament of the season on Sunday morning at the Air Force Falcon Invitational in Colorado Springs, Colo. With a final round team score of 302 (+14), the Pokes dropped one spot and finished in 15th place of 18 schools participating. Wyoming shot scores of 303 (+15) and 295 (+7) on Saturday. "This tournament certainly gave us something to build from," said Cowboy head coach Joe Jensen. "As a team we struggled around the greens, but hopefully overall the event gave us some much needed experience." The Falcon Invitational was the first collegiate competition for five Cowboys; redshirt freshman Aaron Johnson and true freshmen Phil Henzlik, Gabe Maier, Mike May and Zach Zaremba. UW's best event finish came from Maier (Cody, Wyo.) who shot a final round of 71 (-1) and tied for 32nd in the field of 100 golfers with a three-round total of 221 (+5). Wichita State and Iowa State tied for first place in the team standings at 852 (-12), with Wichita State winning in a playoff. The Shocker's Ryan Spears won the individual competition at 203 (-13). The 39th annual, 54-hole AFA Invite was held at the Eisenhower Golf Club - Blue Course, par 72 and measuring 7,301 yards. Wyoming's squad will be right back at it later this week when they travel to the University of New Mexico/Tucker Invitational, Sept. 14-15 in Albuquerque, N.M.
