John A. Burns Intercollegiate Results
LIHUE, Hawaii (UNLVRebels.com) - The final round of the 38th Annual John A. Burns Intercollegiate, which was scheduled for Friday, was cancelled because of inclement weather. The Rebels, who played three freshmen in their first outing of the spring season, finished in a tie for eighth place.
The tournament, which was shortened to 36 holes, was played at Wailua Golf Course (par 72, 6,991 yards) on the island of Kauai.
Prior to the final round starting, Kauai was under a flash flood warning. When it was determined that another band of thunderstorms was approaching and in consideration of the competing teams travel plans, the final round was cancelled.

The No. 28 Rebels tied with Long Beach State for eighth at 8-over 584.
BYU's Justin Keiley earned medalist honors, finishing at 10-under 134. He beat out Joel Stalter from California - the 2013 individual medalist - by four shots.
