DALLAS, Texas - The University of Iowa men's golf team finished its season with a third-place finish at the Baylor Intercollegiate on Tuesday, marking the fourth top-five team finish for the Hawkeyes this fall.
After a delayed second round due to heavy rains, the Hawkeyes put together a third round of 289 (+5) to finish the tournament ahead of four of the nation's top-50 teams, including eighth-ranked Texas. The 2009 NCAA Champions, Texas A&M, led the 12-team field with a 54-hole total of 848 (-4).
Brad Hopfinger carded an impressive third round of 70 (-1) to finish one-over par with a total score of 214. Vince India also finished with a three round total of 214 after firing second and third rounds at even par. The juniors finished in a tie for tenth and combined for a total of 14 birdies during the tournament. Barrett Kelpin made his third finish in the top-25 this fall. The sophomore finished in a tie for 23rd with a 54-hole score of 219 (+6). Sophomore Chris Brant fired six birdies during the tournament on his way to a tie for 40th. He recorded a total score of 223 (+10). With six birdies as well, sophomore Brad George finished in 45th with a three round total of 225 (+12).
