WACO, Texas – Led by a four-over-par performance by sophomore transfer Thomas Kearney, the UTSA men’s golf team finished eighth at the Baylor Invitational held at Bear Ridge Golf Club (7,243 yards / par 72).
Kearney overcame an opening round of seven-over 79 with consecutive below-par rounds of 70 in the final round Monday and 71 on Tuesday to end up in a tie for 16th at four-over 220.
The Roadrunners fought back from a tough opening 18 holes (308) with a 297 in the second round and a two-over 290 Tuesday. That left UTSA in eighth place in the team standings, six shots behind Southland Conference foe Louisiana-Monroe’s 889 for seventh. Baylor came from five shots down to overtake Lamar for the team title with a two-over 862 to the Cardinals’ 866. Baylor’s Green team was third (879).
