CSU golf finishes 19th at The Goodwin

The Colorado State men’s golf team posted its best round of the tournament in Saturday’s finale at The Goodwin, once again moving up the leaderboard to finish in a tie for 19th at Stanford Golf Course.

“We definitely didn’t accomplish the goal we set when the week started,” said Rams’ head coach Christian Newton. “I am pretty disappointed with the overall outcome. I know our team is better than this, and to under-achieve is tough to swallow.”

The Rams closed the tournament, which featured a 24-team field and included 19 squads in the top 100 in the GolfStat.com national rankings, in a tie with in-state rival Denver. The Rams and Pioneers posted three-round team scores of 873 (+33) to edge Colorado (875), Boise State (876), Arizona (878), and last place Princeton (895).

Dominic Kieffer closed as the Rams’ top performer capturing a tie for 39th in the 132-player field. The junior, playing in the Rams’ No. 1 position in the lineup for the fourth consecutive tournament, opened with a 2-under 68 in Round 1 before closing with back-to-back scores of 72 in Rounds 2 and 3 to finish at 2-over (212), 15 strokes behind tournament co-champions Maverick McNeeley (Stanford) and Will Cannon (UAB) at 197 (-13).

In the women’s hammer throw, Kiah Hicks was the top collegiate finisher with a toss of 186-11 while Jackson placed fourth at 175-11. Larrabee placed sixth at 171-8, while Marissa Wagner was ninth at 158-3.
