KU men’s golfers 4th in Arizona

Kansas junior Daniel Sutton tied for eighth place, and KU’s men’s golf team tied for fourth place at the Desert Mountain Intercollegiate on Sunday in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Spencer shot a three-round total of 3-under 213. Other KU scores: Daniel Sutton (1-under 215, tied for 14th), Daniel Hudson (even-par 216, tied for 16th), Chase Hanna (4-over 220, tied for 29th) and Charlie Hillier (8-over 224, tied for 41st).

Michigan won the tournament with a 13-under 851 total. KU shot 4-under 860.

“We just didn’t have it (Sunday) and the result was sloppy golf,” KU coach Jamie Bermel said. “We need to do a better job of being ready to play. I think some of the guys were worn down from (Saturday’s) 36-hole day.

“We will learn from this and do better in our next event,” Bermel said. “I’m happy for Andy Spencer getting a finish in the top 10 and for Dan Sutton and Dan Hudson finishing inside the top 20.”
