LAHAINA, Hawai'i – The Cowboy golf team battled through windy conditions and posted a final-round score of 305 (+21) at the Ka'anapali Collegiate Classic on Sunday, concluding the fall season by tying for 12th place in the team standings with a 54-hole score of 873 (+21). Posting a three-over 74 on Sunday, Senior Drew McCullough was the top Cowboy finisher as he tied for 18th with a tournament tally of 210 (-3).  
 
"You had to battle in this tournament, and Drew (McCullough) did it," UW head coach Joe Jensen said following the trip to Maui. "This ought to give him some long-term confidence. There were gnarly conditions yesterday and today with wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour. We played a pretty good tournament. The boys will derive a lot of experience from this event."
 
McCullough eagled the par-five, 460-yard sixth hole, his third hole of the day, to get off to a strong start. He played solid the rest of the day, rattling off a string of seven pars on the back nine at the Royal Ka'anapali Course at the Ka'anapali Golf Club. It was the fourth top-20 finish of the season for the Richland, Wash., native, who is currently ranked the No. 77 men's Division I golfer in the nation by Golfstat.
 
Junior John Murdock, currently ranked No. 8 in the nation by Golfstat, carded a 77 (+6) on Sunday to finish as the next Cowboy on the individual leaderboard with a tournament score of 222 (+9). Murdock tied for 69th place, while seniors Glenn Workman and Arron Lickteig each collected a share of 72nd with 54-hole scores of 223 (+10). Workman fired a 76 (+5) on Sunday, while Lickteig shot 78 (+7). Sophomore Dan Starzinski, playing as an individual, joined Workman and Lickteig with a share of 72nd place after a 77 (+6) on Sunday.
 
Freshman Carl Underwood posted the Cowboys' second-best round on Sunday, signing for a 75 (+4) to continue his ascent on the individual leaderboard. After a tough first round, Underwood was three-over through the final two rounds to tie for 94th place at 228 (+15). Senior Quintin Pope tied for 87th place, carding a 79 (+8) on Sunday to finish at 225 (+12).
 
With the fall season now complete, the Brown and Gold will have a break from competition before returning to the links in February.
