Cougars close fall season at three-day tournament in Hawai’i
LAHAINA, Maui, Hawai'i – The University of Houston Men's Golf program wraps up its fall season when it tees off at the 12th annual Ka'anapali Classic presented by OUTRIGGER starting Sunday.The tournament was originally scheduled to begin Monday, but the threat of inclement later in the week forced organizers to start a day earlier.
Schools now will play 18 holes with a 5 p.m. (CDT) shotgun start Sunday on the 6,700-yard, par-71 Royal Ka'anapali Course.
Schools will play 36 holes with a 1:30 p.m. (CDT) shotgun start Monday with any unfinished holes to be completed beginning at 1:30 p.m. (CDT) Tuesday.
The Cougars enter their fall finale with a second-place finish at the Abilene Christian Intercollegiate on Oct. 19-21. Senior Grant Doggett posted a score of 6-under 210 to pace Houston and lead three Cougars who finished under par for the tournament.
Houston fired a team score of 5-under 283 in the Final Round to set a team season low, and Doggett's second-place showing was a season best by any Cougar. Seniors Chi Chun Chen and Sebastian Gamboa and junior Hsuan-Yi Chen joined Doggett among the Top-20 leaders.
