The 'Hawks, who finished 18 shots behind winner Wake Forest, entered the tournament on a roll after recording first and third-place finishes in their last two tournaments. But Kansas got off to a cold start after shooting a 299, putting them 10 shots off the lead and into a hole too deep to climb out. Contributing to the 'Hawks disappointing first round were the less than ideal playing conditions the golfers had to face, but coach Ross Randall said that with the Big 12 Conference Championships in Hutchinson ahead, his team needed to be ready for whatever conditions each round brought. "It was cold and rainy for most of the tournament, so it made it kind of a struggle for anyone to play really well." Randall said. "The Big 12 Championships start next Monday, and with it being held at Prairie Dunes, it's hard to tell what the conditions will be like. We just have to be mentally prepared to deal with whatever conditions confront us." One Jayhawk who didn't seem to have much trouble with the conditions was junior Andy Stewart, who fired a team low 215, putting him in a tie for fifth. Stewart's weekend was highlighted by a second-round 66, his career best. "Andy had really good tournament this weekend." Randall said. "He recovered early after shooting a 77 in the first round to shoot one of the lowest rounds of the tournament." Stewart was not the only Jayhawk to experience success at this weekend's tournament. Senior All-American Ryan Vermeer followed up his first and seventhplace finishes in his last two tournaments with another solid performance. Vermeer shot a combined 216, one stroke behind his teammate Stewart and finished in a tie for seventh. For Vermeer, this marked the 12th tournament in a row in which he has finished higher than 15th. "Overall, we had a pretty good performance this weekend, especially considering how we played in the first round." Vermeer said. "It all seems to be coming together for us, but we still have a lot of work to do before we head to the Big 12 Championships next week." Randall agreed that there was a lot of work to be done before the Hawks would be ready to compete for the conference title. "We really need to work on the mental aspect of the game, because that TOURNAMENT RESULTS 3. North Florida 289 295 286 **870** +6 1. Wake Forest 296 289 279 864 E 2.
