Rounding out the top five in a three way tie for fourth place at 143 (1-under) are CU teammates Riley Andrews, Jim Grady, and Michael Baird.
In the senior division Harry Johnson of Eagle Springs Golf Club put together an impressive weekend to finish at even par (144) and edge out 2007 Senior Match Play Champion David Delich of the Broadmoor by two strokes
