UNLV Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 The University of Minnesota men's golf team finished eighth in the Gopher Invitational at Spring Hill Golf Club in Wayzata, Minn. The Gophers fired a final round 297 and finished 41 shots behind tournament titleist Lamar. Lamar's final score of 4-over 868 was a Gopher Invitational record. The Cardinals finished a comfortable 22 shots ahead of second place Arkansas and Wisconsin.“Last year we won 7 tournaments and finished third in the nation, Lamar head coach Billy Tubbs said. "We came in this year losing three all Americans and just wanted to play solid. To come out and shoot the score that we did really exceeded our expectations.†http://www.gophersports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=39781&SPID=3310&DB_OEM_ID=8400&ATCLID=1241589
Guest coachacola Posted September 18, 2007 Report Posted September 18, 2007 But Golfweek's Lance Ringler knows who Lamar's coach is:Am I the only one that is shocked by what Lamar did at the Gopher Invitational? Ron Balicki placed Lamar at No. 24 in the preseason rankings and I thought that was generous. If Brian White can find a way to get this team competitive again after losing Dawie Van Der Walt, Oliver Bekker and Dusty Smith, then he’s my early pick for coach of the year. Sure, the Gopher Invitational was not loaded with great teams, but a 22-shot victory over a very competitive field was unexpected.
