Mentake seventh in Big 12 tourney
Roberts leads Jayhawks with 20th-place finish
The Kansas men's golf team had no trouble starting and finishing the Big 12 Championship. But the
championship. But the Jayhawks struggled in the middle round at Prairie Dunes Golf Course in Hutchinson and finished in seventh place.
After Monday's first round, the Jayhawks led the field with an opening
27-over-par 307. That was good enough to beat the Baylor Bears, in second-place and trailing Kansas by only three shots.
Much of the Jayhawks' early round success was because of the play of senior Andy Stewart, who opened with a two-over 72 and tied for first-place individually.
Whatever the Jayhawks had in the morning round soon disappeared in the after
noon, however, as they slipped in the field with a disappointing 41-over 321.
This left the Jayhawks in a hole that was too much for them to overcome in yesterday's final round despite an impressive 25-over score of 305. The 'Hawks finished in seventh place in the tournament with a 93-over score of 933.
Individually, Kansas senior Conrad Roberts headed the team with a 22-over 232, finishing the tournament in 20th place. Sophomore Chris Marshall finished in 29th place with a 25-over 235 and junior Casey Harbour fired a 28-over 238. Also competing for the Jayhawks were junior Travis Hurst, who shot a 29-over 239, and senior Andy Stewart, who slipped to 43rd place after he shot a 30-over 240.
Despite the nationally ranked Texas, Oklahoma State, and Oklahoma squads competing in the championship, it was Baylor that was crowned the Big 12 Champion yesterday. The Bears rallied and played their best golf in the late rounds and compiled a 54-over 894, defeating the field.
Oklahoma State Cowboys finished the championship in fifth-place.
Last year's Big 12 and NCAA Champion
Kansas will now turn its attention toward the NCAA Midwest Regionals, set to begin May 17-19 at the Karsten Creek Golf Course in Stillwater, Okla.

Women's team still in tourney cellar
Jayhawk Heather Rose shines among top 20
As the second round of the women's Big 12 Conference golf championship came to an end yesterday afternoon, Kansas was still struggling to climb out of the cellar.
The Jayhawks did, however, put together a much better score. The team shot a combined 36-over-par 324, as compared to Monday's opening round score of 70-over-par 358.
Still, the 34-shot improvement since the first round wasn't good enough to lift the Jayhawks out of last place. The team still trails 11th-place Iowa State by 23 strokes heading into today's final round.
One bright spot for Kansas has been the consistent and surprising play from sophomore Heather Rose.
She jumped out to an early eight-place position on the wings of her 10-over-par 82 in the opening round. Rose followed with a second round 7-over 79, good enough for a tie for 18th place.
Senior Ashely Bishop is tied for 42nd with a 25-
over 169. Fellow senior Sarah Mahoney stands
alone at 50th with a 28-over 172.
Also competing for the Jayhawks are freshman Jennifer Bawanan and sophomore Tiffany Kruggel. Bawanan is in 57th place with a 36-over 180, and Kruggel carries a 41-over 185 for 59th place.
Missouri continues to lead the championship with a 52-over 628. Both Texas and Oklahoma State are tied at 630, just two shots behind the first-place Titers.
Mizzou is headed by Amelia Moses, who is the individual leader after the second round and finished with an eight-over 152. She also won the Big 12 Individual Championship in 2000.
The Big 12 Championship's third and final round will be today at the Harvester Golf Course' in Rhodes, Iowa.
