Men’s
golf surges into third at Morris Williams
AUSTIN
— The Horned Frog men’s golf team made a strong push over
the final two rounds of the Morris Williams Intercollegiate to leap
from No. 12 place into third at the 15-team event. Adam Rubinson
led the charge, as he fired a five-under par 67 in round two en
route to his third-place showing individually.
As
a team, TCU shot a 27-over-par score of 891 in the 54-hole event.
Texas, the host school, won the tournament with a card of 883 (+19).
Nine of the tournament’s 15 teams were ranked in the top 25
in the most recent Golfweek/Sagarin poll. The final placing was
TCU’s fifth top-three finish in eight events.
“The
guys made a great charge over the last 36 holes,” head coach
Bill Montigel said. “We will get a lot out of competing in
this tournament. Not only did we play against great competition,
but we also played a very tough course under some difficult conditions.”
Baseball
commissioner pledges no baseball lockout
NEW
YORK (AP) — Baseball commissioner Bud Selig pledged Tuesday
not to lock out players through the World Series but left open the
chance that owners would impose new work rules during the offseason,
a move that could trigger another strike this summer.
The
players’ union, operating without a labor contract since Nov.
7, quickly interpreted Selig’s statement as a veiled threat
to impose vast economic changes as soon as the postseason ends.
