DUNCAN, Okla. (Feb. 20, 2012) — Men’s Golf opened its spring season Saturday with match-play against the University of Kansas at the Territory in Duncan, Okla., as both teams fought gusting winds, cold air and rain for nine hours of golf.

The Aggies got the best of the Jayhawks in the individual matches, winning six out of 10, but fell 5-0 in a round of best-ball matches. Cameron did its best to pull the victory in best-ball, pushing three of the five matches to the final hole, but fell just short of sweeping the day’s events. Despite the loss, Coach Jerry Hrnciar said he was impressed with how his team played, citing their ability to fight the conditions and compete against their opponents.

“We played some good golf in the morning after a shaky start,” Hrnciar said. “Garrett (Smith), Kregg (Wood), Austin (Weaver) and Bobby (Good) played particularly well in the conditions. In the afternoon, the rain, wind and cold caused us to get off to another bad start, but we battled back and gave them (KU) a run for their money. I was encouraged by our play and I hope this will prepare us for bad weather play, and for our first tournament in Austin.”
