Golf finishes 16th at Squire Creek
The golf team’s strong start to the season was hampered by a 16th place finish in the par-72 Squire Creek Country Club on Oct. 16. The tournament, held in Choudrant, Louis., pitted the Owls against 17 other clubs from around the country, including eventual champion University of Mississippi and host Louisiana State University.
The Owls struggled from the beginning, finding themselves in last place with 310 strokes after the first round. Sophomore Chris Brown and freshman Michael Whitehead led the team with 78, and sophomore Michael Buttacavoli finished with 77.
But Rice improved as the tournament went on, shooting 300 in the second round and only 294 in the final round. The Owls were led by Buttacavoli’s three-day total of 221. Brown finished tied for 45th with 223 and Whitehead ended with 224.
The Owls continue their season this Monday at the Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate in Las Cruces, N.M.
