LIHU'E, HAWAI'I (UNLVRebels.com) - The UNLV men's golf team concluded play at the 45th John A. Burns Intercollegiate in Lihu'e, Kaua'i Saturday, finishing in 12th at 13-over 877. For the second straight day, senior J.J. Gresco was the top Rebel performer, shooting an even 72 to finish in a tie for 20th at 1-under.

Freshman Aaron Jarvis was the next highest Rebel finisher in a tie for 52nd at 6-over 222, followed by senior David David Raunch in a tie for 58th at 7-over 223.
