Cowboy golfers 12th at BYU

The University of Wyoming men's golf team finished in 12th place in the 14-team Ping Cougar Classic Saturday at the Riverside Country Club in Provo, Utah.

The Cowboys shot a final round 298, which was consistent with their 299 anbd 297 in the first two rounds of the tournament. Wyoming finished with an 894, 30 shots over par.

For the Cowboys, Gabe Maier had a strong final round and fired a one-under par 71. That score game Maier a three-round total of 222 and put him in a tie for 41st place. Zach Zaremba and Mike May both shot a 77 during the final round to finish with a total score of 223 (+7). That placed each of them in a tie for 43rd place.

BYU won their own event with a three-round total of 842 (-22). Colorado State finished second with a total of 851 (-13) and Idaho finished third with a score of 854 (-10).

Individually, Southern Utah’s Matt McArthur won the tournament by posting a three-round scorecard of 205 (-11). BYU’s Brady Johnson and New Mexico State’s Travis Reid tied for second place with a three-round total of 206 (-10).

“The teams in this field played very well, we just didn’t make it happen ourselves,” said UW head coach Joe Jensen. “We had a couple of good rounds today, with Gabe Maier at 71 and Max Curnow at 74. However, we just couldn’t get it together with couple other guys struggling today.

“We now have a couple of days to get ready for conference. Hopefully, we can put it all together and get four guys scoring well at the same time.”

The Cowboys will return to action next week as they travel to Tucson, Ariz., for the 2009 Mountain West Conference Championship Thursday through Saturday.
