LARAMIE, Wyoming (9/28/25) – The University of Wyoming men's golf team remains on the Front Range this week. The Cowboys participate in the Mark Simpson Colorado Invite on Monday and Tuesday at Colorado National Golf Club.

It's a 54-hole tournament with 36 played on Monday and 18 on Tuesday. Action both days begins at 8:30 a.m.

It's a 19-team field. In addition to Wyoming, Colorado, Arkansas State, Boise State, Creighton, CSU-Fullerton, Denver, Eastern Washington, Gonzaga, Long Beach State, Loyola-Marymount, Northern Colorado, Sacramento State, Southern Illinois, Tarleton State, UTEP, Texas State, UC Irvine and Utah State are set to tee it up.

This marks the third tournament of the season for the very young Pokes. They showed improvement through their first two tournaments. Following a tie for 15th in a 16-team field at the Ram Masters, the Cowboys moved up each day at the Gene Miranda Falcon Invite en route to a tie for 19th in the 23-team field.

"From Week 1 to Week 2, we got better," head coach Joe Jensen said. "The guys continue to trust the process, and they're not getting down on themselves. They're working hard, and they'll continue to improve, as we make our way through the journey that is this season."

The two experienced players on the roster have spearheaded Wyoming's effort thus far. Kristof Panke led the team in Colorado Springs with his 11th career top-25 finish as he placed 13th. Brody Leid was just outside the top 25, tying for 28th at the Falcon Invite.

It has been a combination of different freshmen who've rounded out the lineup at each of the first two tournaments. Kellen Ball has made a pair of starts, while Austin Barry, Brody Knowlton, Ryker Lind and Conner Scheich have each made one start.

Following the trip to Erie, Colorado, Wyoming continues its fall schedule on the west coast. The Pokes travel to the Oregon State Beaver Invitational from Oct. 14-15.
