"If you would have told me I would have made one bogie, all those pars and two birdies, I would have taken that in a heartbeat," Koelbel said. "It felt awesome playing that good today. I'll take that every time."
Also braving the venue was senior Gary Woodland. His final-round 76 put him at a tie for 14th in the final standings and also notched him his second career top-20 finish at the Big 12 Championship.
While every golfer found the course challenging, coach Ross Randall noted that Woodland had a considerable disadvantage teeing off in Hutchinson.
"This isn't the course for Gary," Randall said. "He can't utilize his strength on this course the way he would like to."
Other notable Jayhawk finishes included senior Barrett Martens' 40th-place finish and junior Joey Mundy's 55th-place finish.
The Jayhawks will return to Rich Harvest Farms Golf Course for the NCAA Central Regions. The site was also a venue for the Jayhawks back in the fall when they competed and finished fifth in the Rich Harvest Farms Intercollegiate.

Most of all, it is nice to see the world's best basketball players actually play like they care. Now that the calendar reads April, it is finally worth the time to turn on the TV.
Ultra-talented and oft-injured Golden State point guard Baron Davis has already proven that as an eight seed the Warriors will give the league-best Dallas Mavericks all they can handle. Allen Iverson and Carmello Anthony combine to form a dangerous duo in Denver while Steve

OBITUARY Acclaimed journalist dies in car accident
SAN FRANCISCO — David Halberstam, the journalist whose acclaimed books included a towering study of the Vietnam War and a poignant portrait of aging baseball stars, died while heading to an interview for a new work.
Halberstam was riding in a car that was broadsided by another vehicle in Menlo Park, about 25 miles south of San Francisco, authorities said. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and the cause appeared to be internal injuries, according to San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucault.
"The world has lost one of our greatest journalists,"said Arthur Sulzberger Jr., publisher of The New York Times, where Halberstam won a Pulitzer Prize in 1964 for his Vietnam coverage.
The 73-year-old writer was killed in a car crash Monday while working on a book about the legendary 1958 NFL championship game between the Baltimore Colts and the New York Giants. He was on the way to interview Hall of Fame quarterback Y.A. Tittle while researching "the greatest game ever played."
Halberstam's 2003 book "The Teammates: A Portrait of a Friendship" told the story of Boston Red Sox great Ted Williams and his decades-long relationship with teammates Bobby Doerr, Johnny Pesky and Dom DiMaggio.
