Golf teams return from tournaments

Kansan correspondent
It's been a busy week for Kansas golfers, with both the men's and women's teams competing in tournaments. Each squad had its share of good fortune but not enough to finish strongly.
The women's team finished its fall season yesterday in Las Cruces, N.M., with a seventh-place showing at the Diet Coke-Roadrunner Invitational. The team's total score of 932 tied the record for fewest shots taken by a Jayhawk team in a three-round tournament. The team set the record in October at the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational.
"We have certain goals that we work for, and we don't feel that we've achieved them yet," said Jerry Waugh, Kansas women's golf coach. "They're a young team, so the sky would be the limit for them."
Sophomore Susan Tessary and junior Mandy Munsch led the Jayhawks, both shooting 229 and tying for 20th place in the individual rankings. Tournament host New Mexico State won the team competition.
Meanwhile, in Laurel, Miss., the men finished seventh at the Deep South Intercollegiate. It marked the first time they finished out of the top five this season. The Jayhawks led by one stroke after the first two rounds, but shot a season-worst 308 on the final day.
"They weren't pleased, and I wasn't pleased," said Ross Randall, men's coach.
Junior Chris Thompson led Kansas with a score of 221, good for fifth place overall and a spot on the all-tournament team. Thompson topped the field after two rounds but shot a season-worst 78 in the third. It was Thompson's third top-five finish this fall.
Kansas also was hindered by a three-week span between competitions.
"You certainly lose your mental edge when you have to wait that long for the next tournament." Randall said.
The Kansas men will return to action Nov. 14-15 at the Crown Classic in Lufkin, Texas.

Special to the Kansan
Saturday will feature more than just the annual "Sunflower Showdown" football game between Kansas and Kansas State. The Jayhawk rowing team also is heading to Manhattan for a duel against the Wildcats.
The races will begin at 9 a.m. at the Tuttle Creek Reservoir. The course runs 2,000 meters — about 11/4 miles.
Because the Head of the Iowa Regatta was canceled Oct. 25, this will be the first race this season for most of the team. The heavyweight and lightweight eights both competed at the Head of the Charles Regatta Oct. 18 in Boston, but all seven boats will race Saturday.
"This is our last chance to perform before the spring season," Kansas rowing coach Rob Catloth said.
Sophomore Abby Rosdahl said she was looking forward to her first race this weekend after the letdown in Iowa.
"We were all ready to race in Iowa, and we waited until the very last minute," Rosdahl said. "It was very disappointing."
Catloth said he was going to try
Rowing
The Kansas rowing team will travel Saturday to Manhattan to race against the Kansas State Wildcats at the Tuttle Creek Reservoir.
The race will begin at 9 a.m.
To succeed this weekend, Catloth said the team had to win as many races as possible, especially the varsity eights.
new personnel in different boats this weekend. After being impressed by the speed of the lightweight in recent practices, Catloth said he was looking for more speed this weekend.
"We have three varsity races, and we expect to win them all," Rosdahl said. "This is our goal, and I think it's very obtainable."
"We're all very excited, and I think of all the teams around here, K-State is most comparable to us."
Catloth said he hoped a good performance would motivate the team to work hard during the winter to prepare for the spring season.
The team will be off the water from Nov. 12 to Jan. 19 because of the NCAA rule that rowing teams can spend only 26 weeks of the year training on the water.
