SPRING, Texas – The University of Houston Men's Golf program posted an even-par 288 in the Second Round of the Colin Montgomerie Invitational to finish in a tie for second on Tuesday afternoon at Augusta Pines Golf Club.
Rain forced the cancellation of the Final Round with the tournament being official after 36 holes. It was the second straight weather-shortened tournament for Houston after rain eliminated the Final Round of the All-American Intercollegiate on Feb. 18.
The Cougars tied with North Dakota State for second. Florida Gulf Coast captured the team title at 578 with Prairie View A&M (581), California Baptist (582) and UT Rio Grande Valley (589) rounding out the Top-Six leaders.
After opening Monday's play with a 2-under 70, senior Matt Williams fired a 72 in the Second Round and tied for second at 142.
Sophomore Alexander Frances joined Williams among the Top-Five leaders with a score of 143. The Stege, Denmark, native enjoyed a 70 in the Second Round.
Junior George Gardner tied for 13th at 145, while junior Alex Isakson tied for 30th at 150. Senior Zach Tracy tied for 41st at 151.
Competing as individuals, freshman Braxton Watkins tied for 18th at 142 after posting a 70 in Monday's First Round. Sophomore Andrew Gibson tied for 30th at 150, while junior Logan Young tied for 45th at 152.
Stetson's Baylor Payne earned medalist honors with a score of 3-under 141. Laurence Crea (Prairie View A&M) and Van Holmgren (North Dakota State) joined Williams in second at 142, while Zane Brooks (Prairie View A&M) and Florida Gulf Coast teammates Tate Heintzelman and Andrew Potter joined Frances in fifth at 143.
