AUSTIN, Texas - The No. 8 UNLV men's golf team shot a final-round 8-under-par 280 at the 41st annual Morris Williams Intercollegiate Tuesday at the par 72, 6,906-yard Austin Country Club and won the event by six shots.
It marked UNLV's second team title of the spring and the fifth top-five finish of the season.
The tournament was shortened from 54 holes to 36 because of the thunderstorms that suspended play Monday afternoon. Monday's partial second-round scores were eliminated and an 18-hole second-and-final round was played in its entirety on Tuesday.
The Rebels finished the tournament at 8-under 568, six shots ahead of Tulsa and Texas A&M, which both tied for second place. Texas finished fourth at even-par 576, while TCU rounded out the top five at 2-over.
Texas A&M's Austin Schauer, Tulsa's Ryan Henry and New Mexico's Steve Saunders each took medalist honors at 5-under 139.
UNLV's Jarred Texter and Seung-Su Han each tied for 12th at 1-under 143 to lead the Rebels. Texter shot a final-round 1-under 71, while Han carded a 1-over 73 on Tuesday.
Other Rebel scores: C.J. Gatto tied for 15th at even-par 144 after shooting a final-round even-par 72, Brett Kanda finished tied for 20th at 1-over 145 after firing a final-round 7-under 65 and Eddie Olson finished tied for 23rd at 2-over 146 after a final-round 72.
