Aggie Golfers Finish Third at John Burns Intercollegiate
Feb 19, 2016 | Men's Golf
KAUAI, Hawaii – The Texas A&M men's golf team finished off a strong showing at the 2016 John Burns Intercollegiate Friday at Wailua Golf Course, ending the 17-team event in third place.
"We really finished strong," Texas A&M head coach J.T. Higgins said. "We ended under par for the tournament which gives us a nice showing against some quality teams. It also tells us we're heading in the right direction."
Texas A&M (292-285-286=863, -1), which climbed into third place during a solid second round on Thursday, maintained its position near the top of the leaderboard Friday with a team round of 286 that placed the Aggies behind only team champion Texas (-20) and Cal (-15).
"I'm really proud of the guys today," Higgins added. "They got off to an awful start but showed great resiliency, fought hard and really played with great determination down the stretch."
Senior Adria Arnaus (73-69-70=212, -4) carded his sixth career top-10 finish, ending competition alone in fifth place after collecting four back-nine birdies during the final round. Sophomore Cameron Champ (74-69-71=214, -2), meanwhile, earned his first career top-10 showing with a seventh-place finish.
Senior Ben Crancer (74-74-71=219, +3) finished in a tie for 32nd while sophomore Chandler Phillips (71-76-74=221, +5) and Andrew Lister (79-73-74=226, +10) completed the A&M lineup in ties for 41st and 57th, respectively.
A trio of Aggies competed in the field as individuals -- Connor Black (78-73-77=228, +12), Jake Goodman (79-75-74=228, +12) and Dylan Siebenaler (79-85-80=244, +28).
The next action for the Aggies will come April 29-March 1 when they participate at the Louisiana Classics in Lafayette, La.
