CARROLLTON, Texas –Baylor Men’s Golf notched an eighth-place finish against a very strong 15-team field on Wednesday at the Maridoe Collegiate Invitational.

Johnny Keefer played like a true No. 1 player throughout the week and was within striking distance of the lead entering Wednesday’s final round. His 1-over 73 was good enough to hold the individual-clubhouse lead for a time during the afternoon, before he ultimately finished 5th.

The round of the day for Baylor went to Sophomore Trey Bosco, who bounced back from a tough start to the tournament with an even-par round of 72 to lead the Bears on the final day.

Senior Mark Reppe birdied two of his first five holes and recorded a third birdie of the day at No. 11, bouncing back from back-to-back bogeys. But two more bogeys on his inward half would get him the in to the clubhouse with a 3-over 75, matching his teammate Luke Dossey for the day. Reppe came home in tie for 20th as an individual, while Dossey just missed a top-25, finishing tied for 28th.

Freshman Drew Wrightson wrapped up his collegiate debut with a 4-over 76. He recorded two counting scores for the team in three rounds this week as a true freshman.

Oklahoma outlasted Texas for the team title with a 3-under 861, to the Horns’ 2-under 662. Arizona State (+2), Texas Tech (+9) and Liberty (+13) rounded out the top-five. Baylor also finished ahead of in-state foes SMU (+31), TCU (+40) and North Texas (+51).

Cameron Sisk of Arizona State took home individual medalist honors, winning in a playoff over Texas Tech’s Baard Skogen.
