TOURNAMENT RESULTS

TROPHY CLUB, Texas (March 22) – A pair of top-10 individual finishes enabled Central Oklahoma to come in sixth at the Lion Invitational that wrapped up Tuesday.

The Bronchos closed with a 304 to finish three trips around the 6,992-yard, par-72 Whitworth Course at Trophy Club County Club with a 900 total. Arkansas Tech won the 18-team tournament at 871, followed by Midwestern State (888) and Cameron (890).

Bennett Baldwin shot a final-round 76 to tie for fourth with a 219 total, while Kyle Hickey was a stroke back in a tie for sixth after a closing with a 74. Evan Griffith had a 75 in finishing at 228, while Ross Taylor shot 78-235 and Caleb Kimmel 80-237.

Second-round play was halted Monday by severe weather, leaving players to finish five holes Tuesday morning before moving on to the final round.

Baldwin was two-under through 13 holes when second-round play was stopped, dropped back to even with a pair of bogeys and then birdied his final hole to finish off a one-under 71.

The freshman also birdied the final hole in the third round for the 76 that enabled him to record his best tournament finish of the year.

Hickey was three-under in the second round when play stopped and dropped one stroke in the final five holes this morning to complete a two-under 70. The junior had three bogeys and one birdie in the final-round 74 to notch his third top-10 finish in seven events.

UCO doesn't play next week, returning to action April 4-5 for The Mule Classic in Warrensburg, Mo. in the final regular season tournament of the year.
