- by Joshua Rouse: Sports Editor

The United States may have blown the Ryder’s Cup two weeks ago but the Cameron Aggies, lead by a third place finish by Ryan King, managed a second place finish in the Oklahoma Intercollegiate tournament.

The Aggies finished the tournament with a three round total of 874, 22 rounds over par. The University of Central Oklahoma shot a three over par with an 855. UCO’s lead player was Lawton native Todd Dayton, who shot a two-over-par 73 Tuesday. Dayton opened the tournament with a 67 and shot an even-par 71 in the second round.

Owen Mahaffey, who won individual medalist honors in last week’s West Texas Intercollegiate, was the only other Cameron golfer in the top ten. The Wichita Falls sophomore finished a final-round of 75 to finish with a 217 (+4 par) total. Travis Lovins finished in twelfth place with rounds of 73, 74 and 73 to finish at 7 over par.

The Central Oklahoma JV squad finished third behind the Aggies with an 881 total (+29 par). Northwood College finished fourth with an 890 total while St Mary’s finished fifth 891 total.

The Aggies are scheduled to compete at the Grand Canyon Invitational in Phoenix, AZ on Oct. 4-5. Good luck Aggies!
