SAN MARTIN, Calif. — The University of Colorado men’s golf team closed out the fall portion of its schedule here Wednesday with an eighth place finish in UCLA’s Gifford Intercollegiate.
No. 8 UCLA, on the heels of No. 18 Southern California after each of the first two rounds, overtook its crosstown rival in the final round, as the Bruins bested the Trojans by six shots Wednesday to finish with a 15-under par 1,050 team score. That was three better than USC (1,053), with No. 13 Stanford (1,066), No. 4 Texas (1,069) and No. 66 Northwestern (1,071) rounding out the top five.
The Buffaloes, ranked No. 35, had hoped for a good final round to wrap up the fall season, but had a rough beginning, starting out at 8-over par as a team through three holes. CU ended the day at 9-over 364 for a 29-over 1,094 team total, ending the day where it started, in eighth place.
