KU men’s golf finishes 10th at regional

? Kansas University’s men’s golf season ended with a 10th-place finish at an NCAA regional on Wednesday at the Ol’ Colony Golf Course.

The Jayhawks — making their first NCAA appearance in nine seasons — shot 308-301-305–914 (50 over) for the three-day tournament.

“We just couldn’t get it going this week, and it was a horrible week to play poorly,” Kansas coach Jamie Bermel said. “Overall, it was a solid season, and we improved in a lot of areas. I hope we can make it back next year to NCAA regionals and do better.”

Connor Peck was the low Jayhawk. He tied for 30th with 5-over 221. He was followed by teammates Ben Welle, tied for 54th, 229; Charlie Hiller, tied for 63rd, 234; Daniel Hudson, tied for 65th, 235; and Chase Hanna, tied for 68th, 236.

The five teams that advanced to the NCAA Championship from the Tuscaloosa Regional are Georgia (-16), South Carolina (-12), Alabama (-7), Kentucky (-6) and Auburn (+3).

Peck was one shot shy of participating in a playoff for the final individual to advance to the NCAA Championship, as there was a three-way tie for the sixth individual spot.
