Wasioto Winds Final Results

The Murray State men's golf team turned in an amazing finish when they ran away with the Wasioto Winds Fall Kick-Off championship by a whopping 40 shots in Pineville, Ky., at Wasioto Winds GC.

The Racers' five players in the 54-hole event were all at par or better against the field of 10 teams. MSU posted scores of 282-284-279=845 to easily outdistance second place Belmont who came home with an 885.

“I've been around this game for a long time and I can't remember ever seeing a team win by 40 shots,” MSU Head Coach Eddie Hunt said. “To see all five of our guys in the starting lineup finish par of better is really a special accomplishment. This is encouraging because after losing three very good seniors from last spring, the new guys really gave us a boost.”

All five of MSU's players placed in the top six.

Leading the way for Murray State was Patrick Newcomb who won for the first time on the collegiate level with scores of 67-71-70=208 which was 8-under-par.

Teammates Cameron Carrico and William Hunt were five shots behind Newcomb and shared second place. Carrico had scores of 70-72-71=213, while Hunt posted rounds of 70-71-72=213.

Dustin Gosser placed fifth in the field of 60 players with scores of 75-70-70-215, while Hunter Ford was sixth with rounds of 76-72-68=216.

Hunter York played the event for MSU as an individual and placed 24^th with scores of 75-75-75=225.

Southern Illinois placed third at 886, while John A. Logan (891), Bellarmine (892), UT martin (900), Walters State (907), Lipscomb (908), Tennessee Tech (909) and Morehead State (910) rounded out the field.

MSU's next event is Monday and Tuesday at the UL Cardinal Invitational at the Cardinal Club in Louisville, Ky.
