COLUMBUS, Ohio - The University of Houston golf team wraps up its regular season this weekend when it tees off at the Robert Kepler Intercollegiate.

The two-day, 54-hole event begins at 7:30 a.m., (CDT) Saturday with a shotgun start. The third and final round is slated to tee off at 7:30 a.m., (CDT) Sunday. Live scoring of all three rounds will be available at Golfstat.com.

Redshirt freshman Joseph Reynolds fired a career-low 69 in the second round on the way to a score of 220 and a 55th-place finish to lead the Cougars. Senior Jackie Lindsey tied for 65th place after bettering his score each round, including an even-par 72 in the final round.
