THE RUNDOWN
CARROLLTON, Texas – Baylor men’s golf shot 8-over-par 296 in Tuesday’s final round at the Maridoe Collegiate Invitational, and the Bears finished in fourth place with a three-round total of 25-over 889.

Baylor (+25) finished behind Oklahoma State (+16), Pepperdine (+19) and Oklahoma (+24). BU placed in front of Texas (+26), North Texas (+34), Kansas (+37), Texas Tech (+39), TCU (+59), East Tennessee State (+62), Iowa State (+66) and Coastal Carolina (+75).

The Bears’ best round of the day came from Travis McInroe, who fired a 1-under 71 to climb 13 spots on the individual leaderboard and finish tied for 26th place at 9-over 225. Colin Kober and Johnny Keefer joined McInroe in a tie for 26th place at 9-over 225 after final round of 2-over 74 and 3-over 75, respectively. Ryan Grider led the Bears and recorded his second career top-10 finish with a tie for ninth place at 4-over 220 with a final round of 4-over 76.

Cooper Dossey shot 5-over 77 in the final round and finished tied for 32nd place at 10-over 226. Brandon Hoff, who was competing as an individual, recorded his best round of the tournament with a team-high 14 pars on his way to a 3-over 75, and he finished tied for 48th place at 17-over 233.
