Junior Rafael Becker continued his superlative play winning medalist honors with a 14 under par 202 (68-68-66)

Freshman Louis Cohen Boyer and Junior Hunter Sparks also had top 10 finishes at shooting 210 and 211 respectively.

The Shocker team shot 283-281-272 = 836 (-28) to win by 2 strokes over BYU.

Not sure who the host school was for this event but it is nice to finsih ahead of K-State (856), Tulsa (858), Kansas (860), Nebraska (871) and Creighton (886) among the 15 schools in the field.

Shocks were ranked #36 after their win in Florida last Tuesday. This could move them up a notch or two.

Stay hot guys. Stay hot.

Shocks move up 7-spots in the national rankings to No. 29.

Also Shocks will be hosing the MVC Men's Golf Championship this year in Hutchinson on April 30 and May 1. Prairie Dunes, I presume, will be the location.

The Shocker men's golf team continiued their winning ways with their 3rd straight tournament win in the weather-shortened BancorpSouth Intercollegiate in Madison, Mississippi against decent competition (4 other Top 50 teams were in the field).

The interesting thing is the Shockers have been doing this with Hunter Sparks, who had a sizzling summer, not yet get it going on a consistent basis. The Shocks had four players in the Top 10. And although Hunter had a bad 1st round (80) he did chip in with a solid 73 in the 2nd round.

Tyler Gann was picked as this weeks MVC Men's Golfer of the Week.
