Allen County Community College’s golf team finished the fall portion of Kansas Jayhawk Conference tournament play earlier this month.
The Red Devils played in the third Jayhawk Conference designated tournament Oct. 3 at Hesston Golf Club, on a warm but windy day.
“We did not follow through on the progress made from the previous tournament but got more of our freshmen introduced to 36 holes in one day,” said Mike Hayes, ACCC golf coach.
Hayes was disappointed in the Red Devils’ eighth-place finish in the tournament. Dodge City won the tournament with a 589, just a stroke ahead of Hutchinson, 590.
Allen County’s golfers combined for a 671.
Freshman Clinton Moore paced the Red Devils, tying for 19th. Moore finished with a 158 with 18-hole rounds of 82 and 76.
Jake Morrison, another freshman, carded a 168 (83-85) and freshman Seth Walden had a 171 (90-81). They finished tied for 34th and 38th, respectively.
Freshman Jacob Weber shot a 175 (91-84) for a tie for 40th and sophomore Casey Bettis ended 44th with a 177 (90-87).
“Jake and Seth played in this tournament. Clinton had another solid performance, placing in the top 20 as he has most of the fall schedule,” Hayes said.
“We did not putt well as a team. The greens were very fast.”
The Red Devils are eighth in the overall Jayhawk Conference standings after the three fall tournaments. In the spring, there are three more designated conference tournaments.
