JOHN'S ISLAND, S.C. – The Kansas men's golf team finished in third place at the Hootie Intercollegiate at Bulls Golf Club, which concluded with the final round Tuesday. The Jayhawks finished the tournament with scores of 270-285-290 (-19).

"We had a very solid day of golf today, even in some very windy and cold conditions." Kansas coach Jamie Bermel said. "The guys battled all day. Will Baker had a really good week, and the rest of the team was solid."

Junior Will Baker led the way for the Jayhawks with a fifth-place finish, after shooting rounds of 67-70-70 to finish -9 for the tournament. Baker carded all three rounds under par, while recording 12 birdies and one eagle throughout the tournament. Baker has now recorded back-to-back top five finishes in his last two events and finished inside the 10 three times this season.

Charleston, the tournament host, won the event with a three-round score of 825 (-35). They were followed by South Carolina (-29), Kansas (-19), Purdue (-16), and Clemson (-16) to round out the top five.

Senior Luke Honner finished the tournament with scores of 68-73-72, shooting -3 to tie for 20th place individually. This marks Honner's third top 20 finish this season and fifth top 20 finish in his career at KU.

Senior Will King and freshman Arthur Carlier both tied for 30th place at 216 (E). King finished with rounds of 71-71-74, recording his 13th round under-par on the season. Carlier shot scores of 67-75-74, marking his sixth round in the 60's this season.

Sophomore Hartej Grewal finished the tournament with scores of 68-71-78 (+1) and tied for 36th place individually. Grewal has recorded 10 rounds in the 60's this season, and 15 rounds under-par.

"Thankfully, we get to go back to the Midwest and will be putting on some better greens for the first time all spring. I know the guys are looking forward to it," Bermel added. "We have about two weeks and then we head to the Tiger Intercollegiate in Missouri, I know the guys will be ready to play there."
