XU golf travels to Florida
With the turn of the weather, the Xavier men's and women's golf teams are getting into the swing of things for their spring season. The men's team traveled to Florida and finished fifth at the Florida Atlantic Invitational. The women's team stayed in Ohio and placed fourth at the 2012 UC Spring Invitational. This marked only the second
and third spring outings for the men's and women's teams, respectively. The men's team was led by senior
Chris Burger, who was the top Musketeer, finishing in a tie for 11th place in the tournament. Burger's 1-under-par 212 was a result of his impressive performances on the par-4 holes, where he finished first in the tournament with a 3.82 scoring average. Freshman Korey Ward was only four strokes behind Burger with a final score of 3-over-par 216, good enough for 20th place in the field. Rounding out the top five finishers for the Musketeers were senior Sebastian MacLean (218), freshman Tanapol Vattanapisit (218), and freshman Connor Tendall (228).
The Musketeers shot a 10-over-par 862 for the tournament, which placed them fifth in a field of 15 teams.
Back in Ohio, the women's golf team notched their fourth top-five finish of the season by shooting a 62-over-par 926.
Senior Michelle Winkler led the Musketeers with a 12-over-par 228 for the invitational, good for 13th place.
Junior Breanna Patz scored 230 for the weekend, earning her a tie for 22nd place. Sophomore Kristin Tan (234), sophomore Christine Cash (237), and freshman Abby Smith (246) rounded out the top five finishers for Xavier.
The women's team returns to the links on April 9 when they travel to Phoenix to compete in the Cowgirl Classic.
The men's team will jump back into competition this weekend in Charlotte, N.C. at the Irish Creek Collegiate.
