tournament with a first round 68 and a second round 64. His total score of 208 won the tournament by six strokes.
"It's been kind of an up and down spring for me," Ward said. "I was finally able to drive the ball in the fairway, make some putts and put things together."

The Kansas men's golf team will begin play today at the 59th Western Intercollegiate at the Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz, Calif. The event is the oldest tournament west of the Mississippi River.
The jayhawks are one of only two teams playing in the event not from the west coast. UTEP is the only other school competing not from the west.
The difficult 18-team field includes some of college golf's best programs. UCLA, Stanford, California and Oregon will all be competing this week.
Coach Ross Randall's west
coast connections are one of the reasons that the Jayhawks are invited to play in the event every year. Randall played golf at San Jose State in the mid 1960s. Randall won the tournament as a freshman in 1964. To this day, Randall is the only freshman to ever win the Western Intercollegiate.
"This tournament is the grand daddy of western college golf tournaments," Randall said. "It's one of the best tournaments in college golf, and Pasatiempo is one of the greatest golf courses in the country."
Randall said that the Western is always one of the biggest tournaments of the season for his team.
The par 70 Pasatiempo Golf
Club is a short, tight golf course that measures 6,700 yards. The course is almost the exact opposite of what the Jayhawks saw last week at Stevenson, which is a long course with wide fairways.
The Pasatiempo Golf Club is consistently one of Golf Magazine's Top 25 courses in America.
Senior Kevin Ward will lead the Jayhawks into the event today, coming off of his best performance of the season last week. He finished first at Stevinson Ranch on March 22, firing a tournament total of eight under. Ward said that he is ready to build off of his performance last week.
"This is a fun golf course, and
Kansas will be without senior Andrew Price for the second straight week. Price has a partially torn ligament in his left hand, and will not be able to play for a minimum of four weeks. The Jayhawks are hopeful that Price will be ready to play in time for the Big 12 Conference Championship at the end of April. Junior Luke Trammell will be filling in for Price for the second straight week.
it's fun to play here every year," said Ward. "Even though this course doesn't really suit a lot of our games that well, I think it will be a good test. I feel like I can go out there and do pretty well this week."

victory. He held the Nebraska lineup scoreless in 1.2 innings of work in relief of junior righthander Kodiak Quick (7-2).
For the third time this season, the Jayhawks used a walk-off hit to seal a victory. For the second time, the hit came off the bat of junior outfielder Gus Milner.
Junior outfielder Matt Baty led off the bottom of the ninth with an infield single. Baty, who has moved to second base while
freshman starter Ryne Price has been sidelined with an ankle injury, scored the winning run after Milner drove a Jensen pitch to the right field wall.
But the Cornhuskers did not go quietly. Junior third baseman Alex Gordon hit two homers in two attempts. He collected three RBI in game one and was walked five times in the series.
Nebraska was able to record a 9-3 victory.
Gordon hit his second home run of the day in the nightcap.
Sophomore left-hander Sean Land (2-2) to take the loss after lasting only 2.2 innings and allowing four runs on five hits.
Junior pitcher Zach Kroenke (3-0) sealed the deal for the Huskers. In six innings Kroenke allowed three runs on three hits.
"I really thought we had some great momentum going into the second and third." Czyz said. "We played well, they just played a little bit better."
Junior left-hander Brian Duensing held the Jayhawks scoreless until the eighth inning in the Easter Sunday 9-4 loss. Down 7-0 entering the eighth, Kansas batters found a way to avoid the shutout.
Erik Morrison, freshman third baseman, hit the first home run for the Jayhawks in the series (3).
Milner also added a home run in the bottom of the ninth.
"It's hard when everyone's playing well," Morrison said. "We're starting to play well as a team, and we're still getting beat."
Quick had a solid outing for Kansas, but Price said he felt as if the starter may have been left in a little too long. Directly after a two-inning appearance on Saturday, Quick gave up five runs on five hits, taking the loss.
The Jayhawks finished the weekend at 1-2 in the Big 12.
Kansas continues play next weekend against Texas A&M.
