FLOWER MOUND, Texas - The University of Houston golf team opened its 2003-04 season in fine fashion Tuesday with a second-place finish at the Mean Green Classic in Flower Mound, Texas.
Standing in fourth place entering the day's final 18 holes on the 7,135-yard, par-72 course at Lantana Golf Club, the Cougars fired a team score of 295 to jump two spots in the final standings. It was the best score of the day by any of the participating 16 teams.
Individually, junior Jordan Hasbrouck and true freshman Ricky Romano - each competing in their first tournament as a Cougar - earned Top 10 finishes on the individual leaderboard.
Hasbrouck fired a 1-over-par 73 on Tuesday and finished the event tied for second at 2-under-par 214. Romano remained steady and shot his lowest score of the tournament - 71 - to tie for seventh at even-par 216.
As a team, the Cougars finished nine shots behind host North Texas. Louisiana-Monroe placed third with a score of 880, while McNeese State, Louisville, Washington State, Stephen F. Austin State, Texas State-San Marcos, Arkansas State and Middle Tennessee rounded out the Top 10 leaders.
Other Cougars competing at the tournament were Denton Walker (221 - t-21st); Zach Mowbray (225 - t-42nd); Daniel Angenscheidt (244 - 88th) and Pablo Acuna (233 - t-79th), who was playing in his first collegiate event after sitting out all of last season with a redshirt.
Arkansas State's Wixson Huffstetler earned medalist honors after finishing the two-day event with a score of 4-under-par 212.
