Men's team takes 10th in tournament
"You can't really practice it because we don't have Bermuda grass around Lawrence," Bermel said. "It just takes the experience, getting out on it in the practice rounds to figure it out. There just isn't much you can do to pre-

The Kansas men's golf team finished 10th with a team score of 886, 38 strokes behind firstplace team Georgia, at the Brickyard Collegiate Championship in Macon, Ga.
Gilbert's scramble on 12 tested his mental game. Bermel said after hitting the ball in the hazard Gilbert wanted to go for the home run but decided to lay it up to about 100 yards out. The veteran moved led to the hole out.
Senior Chris Gilbert continued his solid play, finishing tied for 11th with scores of 72, 72 and 70, placing him six shots off the lead.
The Brickyard presented the first chance for Kansas to play on Bermuda grass greens, something that takes experience to master.
Gilbert started his final round with 10 consecutive pairs before bogeying the par three 11th finding himself in trouble off the tee at the par five 12th.
"He has a pretty fundamentally sound golf swing." Bermel said. "As a senior, he's pretty experienced. He plays with a lot of confidence. He's not very emotional out there, and he just continues to give himself opportunities."
"Obviously coming out with the 69 was really good." Bermel said. "He had a couple of bad breaks caused by a couple of bad swings. You do that, and you'll quickly get over par on that golf course. He just struggled in the last round making three doubles on the last nine holes, which you just can't do."
Sophomore transfer Stan Gautier finished tied for 42nd with scores of 69, 74 and 79. Gautier struggled late with the difficult course over the later rounds.
The hole played third toughest on the course over the weekend. After dropping from the hazard, Gilbert hit an eight iron to 100 yards out. He then healed a wedge shot from there to finish the round with three birdies over his last seven holes.
"With the exception of that drive, he was playing really well," coach Jamie Bermel said. "Quite honestly, his bad swing on 12 tee was directly related to the bad swing on 11. He got a little upset with himself and tried to hit one hard and mis-hit it."
pare."
Dylan McClure finished tied for 56th with a total score of 226 over three rounds.
Jackson Foth finished tied for 63rd with a 228 and Alex Gutesha finished tied for 69th with a 231.
The Jayhawks will continue to push for consistency in preparation for the Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate Oct. 22-23 in Las Cruces, N.M.

"We shot even par in the first round and 11 over in the next two rounds," Bermel said. "You just can't do that. We have to figure out a way to have that focus, that consistency every round. It's just each guy saving a shot or two, and they're out there you just have to figure out a way to save them."
SWIMMING

A record-setting performance by freshman Bryce Hinde was a major contributor to the Jayhawks' victory over Rice in the team's first dual meet of the season on Saturday afternoon.
Other freshmen on the team also made significant impressions in their debut for Kansas: Haley Molden won the 200-yard freestyle, Alina Vats won the 100-yard backstroke, and Chelsie Miller
"I am very excited," Kansas head coach Clark Campbell said. "I was looking forward to her racing because she had a very good meet last week, and she really turned it up a notch today."
Hinde, a native of Fulton, was dominant in her collegiate debut as she broke the pool record in the 100-yard breaststroke, won the 200-year breaststroke and swam the second leg on the first-place 200-yard medley relay team.
won the 400-yard individual medley.
Senior captain Brooke Brull and sophomore Deanna Marks also earned victories in the 200-yard backstroke and 200-yard butterfly.
"We definitely took a couple steps forward today," Campbell said. "Each meet you want to improve and get yourself ready to go for the championship scene later on. If you are on for the bigger meets, that just carries momentum into the next.
The top performers for Rice were sophomore Casey Clark, who broke the pool record in the 100-yard butterfly, and sophomore Erin Flanigan, who won the 1,000-yard freestyle and the 500-yard freestyle.
