Golfers shoot at Dixie Invite

During spring break the Boise State men and women’s golf teams were back to business as usual in California, and Oregon. The men’s golf team took part in the Stevenson Ranch Invitational, in Turlock California, a tournament that Head Coach Kevin Burton called a, “good field, on a great golf course.”

The tournament was limited to two rounds, due to poor weather conditions. The Broncos finished the invite in fifth place, just six shots behind the winner Colorado.

Sophomore Matt Hastings posted a 75 during the first round, and a 73 in the second round, earning him a sixth place finish. Senior Graham DeLaet, and junior Brian Smith finished in a tie for 19th place at seven-over-par. Senior Jason Williams also recorded a top-25 finish with an eight-over-par, landing him in a tie for 24th place.

The women were participating in the Duck Invite, in Creswell, Ore, looking to have a second consecutive solid outing. While the Broncos failed to finish any golfers in the top-25, they were able to finish the tournament in 10th place. Mandi Hedberg was the top finishing Bronco, she finished in a tie for 36th, with a 237.

There was not a lot of time off for the women who began play in the BYU Dixie Classic in St. George, Utah, just five days later.

Boise State University junior Katie Street remained in the top 10 after the second round of the Brigham Young University Dixie Classic, April 4.

Final results for the tournament were not available at press time.

After opening the tournament tied for eighth with a 75 (+3), Street posted a second round 79 (+7) at the par-72, 6,151-yard Entrada at Snow Canyon Golf Course. Street was tied for 10th place and has finished in the top 15 in four of her last seven tournaments.

Boise State began competition Wednesday in 12th place, with a team score of 654.

The BYU Dixie Classic is the last regular season tournament for the women, who will prepare for the WAC Championships, in San Jose, California beginning on April 24th.
