Iowa City, Iowa ? Four Kansas University men’s golfers placed in the top 10, and the Jayhawks won the Hawkeye Invitational on Sunday at Finkine Golf Course.
It was KU’s fourth tournament title of the season, and the nine-stroke margin was Kansas’ second-biggest winning margin of the year.
“I’m really happy for the guys,” Kansas coach Jamie Bermel said. “They keep getting better each week, and it’s been a lot of fun watching them progress.”
Sophomore Daniel Hudson finished at 5-under 211 and placed fourth overall.
Senior Connor Peck tied for fifth at 212 and led the field with 16 total birdies on the weekend.
Freshman Charlie Hiller was eighth at 213, and junior Chase Hanna was a stroke back in ninth.
Zach Kirby tied for 45th at 225, and Ben Welle tied for 49th at 226.
“Four of the five guys have played here before, with Chase Hanna, Connor Peck and Ben Welle playing three years, so I think they feel comfortable here because of that experience they’ve gained,” Bermel said.
Kansas won the team title at 15-under 849.
Iowa State and Iowa tied for second at 858.
Iowa State’s Ruben Sondjaja was individual medalist at 206.
Kansas next will compete April 29 through May 1 at the Big 12 Championship in Trinity, Texas.
