SPORTS BRIEF Men's golf to hold Kansas Invitational
The Kansas Men's Golf team returns home today to host the Kansas Invitational at the Alvamar Golf Club in Lawrence.
The Jayhawks are looking to add a fourth title to their record at the Kansas Invitational. Their last Kansas Invitational title came last year when Gary Woodland placed first in the match.
The KU golf squad looks to improve its play after a disappointing 17th place finish at the Saint Mary's Invitational in Pebble Beach, Calif. Freshman Nate Barbee was the only Jayhawk
to finish in the top 50 at the Invitational.
Head coach Kit Grove and his players need to regroup for today's match because they are competing against tougher opponents.
The Jayhawks will compete in a 16-team field against teams from the West Coast to the East Coast. Kansas will also compete along-side two other Big 12 competitors, Kansas State and Nebraska.
Kansas tees off at 8 a.m. today and will finish the 54-hole event Tuesday afternoon. The Kansas Invitational has been a KU golf tradition since 1983.

Three students tied Kelly Breckunitch and Erica Johnson's 8-2 record, but no one could Kick the Kansan for the second week in a row.
Best of the rest:
*Did not pick for week 1
Dylan Tucker, a senior from Mission Hills, went 8-2 along with juniors Kyle Mock, from Galena, and Joe Preiner, from Apple Valley, Minn., but Tucker's 24-21 tie-breaking prediction for the UTEP at New Mexico St. game (a 29-24 final) gave him the win.
