Men’s golf team places 13th in tournament

The TCU men’s golf team finished the Carpet Capital Collegiate with a share of 13th place after a six-over-par score of 294 in the third and final round. TCU (884) slipped five spots after having to play Sunday’s final round without junior David Schultz, a 2003 honorable mention All-American, who withdrew due to injury.

Colby Beckstrom topped the Horned Frogs with an 11th-place finish. He shot a two-under-par 70 in the final round to finish the 54-hole event with a 214 (-2). The sophomore now has a fifth-place and an 11th-place finish in the Frogs’ two tournaments this season. Beckstrom, who had a nine on a par-3 on Friday, played the remaining 53 holes at eight-under.

Senior Adam Meyer continued to move up the leader board, winding up with a share of 25th place after firing a team-best score of 68 (-4) on Sunday. The Waco native made the turn at one-over but recorded three birdies and an eagle on the back side. Meyer was under-par for the second straight day and completed the event with a three-round total of 218 (+2). After a seven-over 79 in the first round, he was positioned in 72nd.

TCU is next in action Oct. 20-21 at the Gary Koch Intercollegiate in Tampa, Fla.
