Cougars complete fall season with eighth-place showing
LAHAINA, Maui, Hawai'i – The University of Houston Men's Golf program wrapped up its fall season with a eighth-place finish at the Ka'anapali Classic on Tuesday afternoon.
The tournament was originally scheduled to begin Monday with 18 holes each day, but the threat of inclement weather forced organizers to start a day early.
Schools played 27 holes Monday with the final nine holes completed Tuesday on the 6,700-yard, par-71 Royal Ka'anapali Course.
Junior Hsuan-Yi Chen finished the 54-hole event with a score of even-par 213 to lead the Cougars. Senior Sebastian Gamboa drained seven birdies over two days to post Houston's low score in the Final Round with a 69 and tied for 28th at 214.
Junior Sacha Ruiz tied for 32nd at 215 while senior Grant Doggett tied for 47th at 217. Playing as individuals, sophomore Jayk Altic tied for 59th at 219 while freshman Miles Wennestam – who was making his collegiate debut this week – finished 115th at 231. Junior Brett Moore tied for 119th at 233.
Georgia won the team championship with a score of 820 to finish one stroke ahead of 830. TCU came in third at 836 with Oklahoma (846), Kansas (848), Colorado (849) and Purdue (851) rounding out the Top-Seven leaders and North Florida (862) and host Hawai'i (866) rounding out the Top 10.
Clemson's Hampton Roberts and Georgia's Grayson Wood shared medalist honors at 202. Oklahoma's Cayse Morgan came in third at 204 while Clemson's Oscar Holm-Bredkjaer finished fourth at 205.
