Golfers Open Spring Season In Paradise

[cmgoods]

WAIKOLOA, Hawai’i — The University of Colorado men’s golf team arrived here Saturday in preparation for its spring opener, the 24th annual Amer Ari Hawaii-Hilo Invitational.

The tournament, which runs this Thursday through Saturday, will once again provide an indication of where the Buffaloes stand right out of the gate, not just nationally, but with seven other Pac-12 schools competing, the Buffs will get an early idea of where they stand in the conference.

The field here is annually one of the strongest in the spring, and it’s no exception this year with three top 10 teams competing and 10 of the top 50 and all but two (out of 17) in the top 100. It also includes 10 of the nation’s top 30 individuals and the No. 7 Division II program in CSU-Monterey Bay.

Colorado (No. 83 in the final Golfweek fall rankings), will be joined in the field by league counterparts Stanford (No. 9), Washington (No. 13), UCLA (No. 17), Southern California (No. 25), Arizona State (No. 37), Oregon (No. 60) and Oregon State (No. 67). Other top schools competing include No. 2 Georgia Tech, No. 3 Oklahoma State, No. 19 Texas and No. 26 Auburn.

Not a great first round for the Buffs as they sit in 17th place, but it really is a loaded field.

Buffs improved in the 2nd round by shooting -7. They still have an outside chance of a top 10 finish, but it will be tough.

A good finish for the Buffs as they end up in 13th place. If they had played the first round like the last 2, they could have finished top 7.
