The No. 12 LSU men’s golf team finished in a four-way tie for fourth after rain washed out the final round of the John Hayt Invitational at Sawgrass Country Club in Florida on Tuesday.  

The Tigers finished tied with No. 7 Florida, No. 16 Arkansas and North Texas at 11-over 587 through the two rounds played. Players began the third round, but when the rain stopped play, the scores reverted back to the end of round two.

“It’s always disappointing to not get all the holes in,” said LSU coach Chuck Winstead. “That is how you learn and how you get better. We got off to a good start today so having the round called early was pretty disappointing.”

Sophomore Curtis Thompson led the Tigers and finished the tournament with a 36-hole score of even-par 144. He shot a 1-under 71 in the first round and 1-over in the second round to finish in a tie for No. 12 overall.

Junior Andrew Presley and sophomore Myles Lewis finished tied for No. 20 at 2-over. Presley shot 3-under in the first round before struggling in round two and shooting 5-over. Lewis was at even-par after one round and shot 2-over Monday.

“I think we played reasonably solid,” Winstead said. “We hit a lot of good shots but didn’t putt very well, so we didn’t score as well as we could have.”

North Florida, who hosted the event, won the tournament with a team score of 17-under, which was 12 strokes better than second-place No. 9 Duke.

North Florida senior Kevin Phelan won the tournament individually at 13-under. 

The LSU women’s golf team played through wet conditions to finish sixth at the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate from English Turn Country Club in New Orleans.

The final round was played Tuesday after rain washed out the second round Monday. The Lady Tigers finished the tournament with a 36-hole score of 16-over 592, 12 strokes behind No. 1 USC who defeated No. 22 UCLA in a playoff to win the tournament.

“We dealt with some tough conditions out there today,” said LSU coach Karen Bahnsen. “I thought we played solid golf both days and could have scored even better if we cut down on the mental mistakes.”

Sophomore Madelene Sagstrom and freshman Elise Bradley finished tied for No. 13 with 36-hole scores of 2-over 146. Bradley’s 1-under 71 in the first round was the lowest round of the week for LSU.

Baylor sophomore Hayley Davis won the tournament at 4-under.
