VERONA, N.Y. – Despite senior Michael Sanders sharing medalist honors, LSU men’s golf team blew an 11-shot lead on the last day of Turning Stone Collegiate and finished second to Missouri here Monday at the Kaluhyat Golf Club.
After shooting the second-best round in school history with a 23-under in the second round, LSU shot 7-over in the final round as Missouri shot 6-under.
It gave Mizzou the win for the tourney at 17-under 847 compared to LSU’s 15-under 849.
“It was a solid week this week for our team,” said LSU head coach Chuck Winstead. “We saw that we have the ability when things are going well to shoot a low score. We had the experience of being in contention to win the golf tournament. And while we fell short today, if used the right way, it can be a good experience for this team as we grow throughout the year.”
The Tigers travel to Squire Creek GC in Ruston, La. for the Jim Rivers Intercollegiate starting Sunday.
