KU men’s golf eighth at Marriott tourney

? Kansas University’s golf squad is tied for eighth place after Friday’s first round of the 15-team Courtyard by Marriott Intercollegiate at Devils Ridge Golf Club.

The Jayhawks shot an opening-round score of 287 and were playing the second round when play was postponed because of rain. More bad weather in the forecast prompted the cancellation of the third round, and so the second round will be played at 9 a.m. today.

Junior Pete Krsnich led the Jayhawks after shooting a 71 and tying for 22nd place. Sophomore Kevin Ward, junior Luke Trammell and sophomore Gary Woodland each shot 72 to tie for 29th, and sophomore Tyler Docking was tied for 45th after a 73.
