    RH: Revie, Ramirez Spark Shockers on Final Day

    Mitchell Revie found the adjustment to NCAA Division I golf a bit intimidating and needed help with confidence after not making the lineup for Wichita State's first tournament of the fall.

    He turned to books by golf writer Dr. Bob Rotella, who specializes in the mental aspects of the game.

    "I needed a restart," Revie said. "My dad says there's a lot of knowledge in books, so I might take something (Rotella's) got to say."

    Revie, a junior from Queensland, Australia, qualified for Wichita State's next three tournaments. On Tuesday, he helped the Shockers to their third straight championship in the Grier Jones Shocker Invitational at Sand Creek Station Golf Course (par 72). WSU carded an even-par 864 to finish four shots up on Incarnate Word.​

    ​Revie finished with an even-par 216 to join teammate Jose Miguel Ramirez as part of a five-way tie for 11th. Revie birdied four of his first seven holes on Tuesday on his way to carding a 69. Ramirez birdied his final two holes to finish at 71 and seal the win for the Shockers.

    WSU entered the final round in third place, six shots behind Incarnate Word and two behind SIU-Edwardsville.​

    "Resilience," coach Judd Easterling said. "We set the golf course up a lot harder than the first two days. The guys were ready. They grinded until the end. They showed they've been putting in the work."

    Ramirez, a senior from Maturin, Venezuela, double-bogeyed two holes on his back nine Tuesday. He recovered to finish strong on his final four holes.

    "I made a couple mistakes on the back nine, but I knew my golf was there," he said. "Once I got to that ball on 18, I felt very confident, and I knew I was going to put it away."

    Revie played a steadier round with four birdies and one bogey. He credits assistant coach Cole Elmore with talking him through the need to get over bad shots quickly and strike the ball with purpose. Elmore's words are part of Revie's improving mindset as he makes the move up from junior college golf. The books by Rotella taught him that missing a putt isn't disaster and should not ruin his round.

    "You get nervous at events, thinking all these guys are better than me," he said. "Cole was following me around all day and helping me make smart decisions. Cole helped me be more committed to my shots, to be more confident in myself that I can hit the shots I'm trying to hit."​

    Revie was part of the NJCAA champions at Indian Hills (Iowa) Community College, as was Ramirez in 2023. He took last season off, golfing in Australia, to wait for COVID eligibility athletes move on and open roster spots.

    Revie's strong finish is a good sign for Easterling as they conclude their fall tournaments.

    "This is a culmination of him having a really good, strong 18 holes," Easterling said. "He kept it together. He's more consistent in being able to finish off rounds."

    Before Tuesday's round, Easterling emphasized the importance of winning the home tournament to the Shockers.

    "I had each one of them say 'We do not lose at home, we do not lose at home,'" he said. "We drilled it into their mind-set today."​

    If you had told me Michael Winslow was going to shoot a 3rd round 80 I would not have had this outcome on my bingo card.

    A little past the midway point of Round 3 the SIU-Edwardsville leads at 1-over par. The Shockers are 1 stroke back at 2-over par. However, the Shocks 1 and 2 guys are wobbling a bit. Jose Ramirez finished the front 9 at 2 over but promptly double-bogeyed #10 to drop back to even par. Michael Winslow parred his first 5 holes before finishing the front nine with a double-bogey and 2 bogeys over the final 4 holes of the front 9. He has the throw away score at this point but you can't afford that from your expected team leader. Fortunately, Mitchell Revie is playing pretty well today at 3-under through 12. We'll find out who wants it more and can play well when the pressure is on as they finish off the back 9.

    Quick Update: A birdie by Jose Carletta on the par 5 16th pulls the Shocks even with SIU-E at 1-over. Michael Winslow double-bogeyed #11 to got to 6-over so he is basically out of it. So it is up to dos Joses, Mitchell and Sophomore Ty Adkins.

    Quick Update: A Mitchell Revie bogey and and SIU-E birdie put SIU-E back up 2 strokes on the Shockers. But a birdie by Ty Adkins on 16 pulls the Shocks back to within 1 stroke.

    Denver hanging around 3-strokes behind the Shocks.

    Quick Update: A bogey on the par 4 12th by SIU-E's #1 guy drops SIU-E back into a tie with the Shocks. Each of the Shocks have 3 to 5 holes to play.

    Quick Update: Ty Adkins with a 2nd consecutive birdie, this on on the par 3 17th and a 2nd consecutive bogey by SIU-E's #1 player on #13 and an SIU-E bogey on #17puts the Shocks up by 3 strokes. Note that today was a shotgun start so each team as a player that finishes on #1, #2 and #3.

    Quick Update: Jose Ramirez double bogeys the par 4 14th but an SIU-E golfer triple bogeyed the hole. Mitchell Revie birdies #16, but Ty Adkins bogeys #18 and Jose Carletta bogeys #1. The Shocks are now tied at 3-over with Denver over Incarnate Word by 1 stroke and SIU-E by 2 strokes and Central Arkansas by 3 strokes. I sense some sphincters tightening up.

    Quick Update: The Shocks are now at 2-over but Denver, Incarnate Word and SIU-E are all now within 1 stroke of the Shockers at 3-over. Maybe heading to a playoff.

    Quick Update: Incarnate Word gets and Eagle 3 on #16 and has taken the lead at 1-over par. The Shocks are at 2-over and SIU-E is 3-over.

    Quick Update: Jose Ramirez with a big birdie 2 on #17 pulls the Shocks even at 1-over. Jose only has 1 hole to play. Michale Winslow has 3 but his score is irrelevant. Incarnate Word has 3 holes to play that could impact the outcome. SIU-E is 2 shots back at 3-over.

    Final Update: Jose Ramirez followed up his birdie on #17 with another birdie on the par 3 18th to finish his round and put the Shocks in the clubhouse with the lead at even par. Incarnate Words #1 golfer, who shot a 6-under 66 in round 2, finished with a bogey on 17 and a double bogey on 18 to give the Shocks a 4-stroke win which doesn't come close to depicting how close this was at the end. This truly did come down to a battle of the #1's and Jose R came through for the Shocks but he received very good support from his teammates as well.

    Mitchell Revie actually led the Shocks on the day with a 69 (-3), followed by Jose Ramirez with a 71 (-1), Jose Carletta with a 72 (E), and Ty Adkins at 73 (+1) to provide the margin for the Shocks 3rd consecutive win in the Grier Jones Shocker Invitational. Michael Winslow just did not have it today as he shot an 80 (+8).

    T11. Jose Ramirez........71-74-71 = 216 (E)
    T11. Mitchell Revie...... 76-71-69 = 216 (E)
    T32. Jose Carletta.........79-70-72 = 221 (+5)
    T32. Ty Adkins...............74-74-73 = 221 (+5)
    T46. Michael Winslow: 72-71-80 = 223 (+7)

    Not often you see the tournament champion with non one in the Top 10 on the player leaderboard. Note that Michael Winslow was the only guy on the team 5 that played a lot last year. Ty Adkins only played in 2 fall tournaments where he averaed 79 over 6 rounds including a 244 in this tournament. So he made a 23-stroke improvement from last year to this year. The other 3 guys are juco transfers. I'm sure Michael Winslow is very disappointed with his final round but kudos to his teammates for picking him up.

    Stays in Wichita.

    The Shocks avoided the 1st hole problems today getting 4 pars and 1 bogey on their way to a 2-under team score in Round 2 putting them at 3-over for the tournament. However, Incarnate Word and SIU-Edwardsville caught fire today with team scores of 8-under and 9-under respectively with Incarnate Word grabbing the tournament lead at 3-under par followed by SIU-E at 1-under and the Shockers at 3-over. So the Shocks have some work to do tomorrow to keep keep the tournament trophy in Wichita.

    Jose Carletta had a nice bounce back from his 1st round 79 to lead the Shocks with a 2-under par 70. Michael Winslow and Mitchell Revie both shot 1-under par 71s and Jose Ramirez and Ty Adkins both shot 2-over par 74s with one of this scores thrown out. it is nice to have all 5 guys playing decent golf but it may take more than that to win this thing.

    Among the 4 Shockers competing as individuals Lucas Scheufler and Connor Geist both shot even par 72.

    On the individual leaderboard Michael Winslow is in a 3-way tie for 8th and Jose Ramirez is in an 8-way tie for 15th.

    Incarnate Word's Ken-Marten Soo and Xavier's Kellen Dean shot 6-under par 66s in round 2. Both recorded 4 birdies and an eagle to go along with 13 pars. SIU-E's Alex Eickhoff shot a 5-under 67 with 5 birdies and 13 pars after shooting a 7-over 79 in round 1.

    Denver's Jack Dozer, after a triple-bogey 7 on the par 4 14th responded on the next 3 holes with birdie-eagle-birdie to get himself back to even par an propel Denver into the lead at 2-over par at the end of round 1.

    The Shocks are tied for 2nd with Xavier and Incarnate Word at 5-over par, 1 stroke ahead of Hutch CC. As WuDrWu mentioned the Shocks dug themselves an early hole on #1 so it could have been worse.

    Jose Ramirez led the way again for the Shocks with a 71 (-1) followed by Michael Winslow 72 (E), Ty Adkins at 74 (+2) and MItchell Revie at 76 (+4). Jose Carletta had the throw away score at 79 (+7).

    Of the 4 Shockers competing as individuals freshman Caden Cox was the best shooting a 75 (+3).

    It's a shame Winslow doubled the first or the birdie, birdie, birdie run on 2-3-4 would look spectacular at this point.

    Considering that the 5 Shockers played the first hole in 6 over (team score of +4 on that one hole) it's somewhat remarkable that they've been able to right the ship so quickly and get to -2 as a team while still around the mid point of the front nine. The team have combined for 8 birdies vs just 1 bogey since that troubling first.

    MGLF Preview: 3rd Annual Grier Jones Shocker Invitational

    The Shockers are looking defend their crown, as they have won the team title in each of the past two installments of the tournament. The team beat Utah Valley by four strokes for the crown in 2022 and Seton Hall by three in 2023. No Shocker has won the individual crown in the tournament's brief history.

    All nine members of the 2024-25 men's golf team will compete in the tournament with four competing as individuals only.

    Fast Facts – Grier Jones Shocker Invitational
    Dates: Sunday, October 6 – Tuesday, October 8
    Venue: Sand Creek Station Golf Club; Location: Newton, Kan.
    Yardage: 7,187; Par: 72

    Results: Golfstat
    The Field: 14 Teams
    Denver, Missouri State, Drake, Xavier, Central Arkansas, SIUE, Incarnate Word, Southern Indiana, Northern Colorado, Indian Hills Community College, Dodge City Community College, Hutchinson Community College, Midland College, Wichita State (Kansas State and Oklahoma State will bring players to compete as individuals only)

    Shocker Five:

    Jose Ramirez (Sr.) – Transfer from Indian Hills Community College…Won 2023 NJCAA DI Men's Golf National Championship at Sand Creek Station Golf Course in Newton, KS...Helped Indian Hills CC to team national championship in same year...2023 GCAA Arnold Palmer Award winner...Placed 10th overall at the NJCAA Central District Championship with a 5-over 221 score...Member of the NJCAA Academic Team of the Year

    Michael Winslow (Sr.) – Fourth year Shocker…Tied for 5th on September 10 at SIUE Dolenc Invitational…2024 AAC All-Conference selection…2024 Kansas Amateur Champion…2023 Missouri Amateur and Kansas Amateur runner-up… set career best marks for 18- and 54-hole scores at the AAC Championship on April 21...Fourth place finish at the AAC Championship was best of career and best of any Shocker at the Championship all-time

    Ty Adkins (So.) – Second year Shocker…Tied for 11th in season opening tournament on September 10…Competed in two events as a freshman, both in the fall...Finished tied for 39th competing as an individual at the Big O Classic in Omaha, Neb. Last season

    Mitchell Revie (Jr.) – First year Shocker…Indian Hills Community College Transfer…Won 2023 NJCAA Division I Team National Championship…Once posted 64 round score which was third-lowest in IHCC history…

    Jose Carletta (Jr.) – Transfer from Indian Hills Community College…Tied for ninth at Bayou City Collegiate Classic on October 1…Won 2024 NJCAA Central District Champion by five strokes with eight-under (208) performance at IHCC...Earned NJCAA All-American distinction with eighth-place finish at NJCAA National Championship in Hobbs, New Mexico...2024 NJCAA PING All-American Honorable Mention

    I suspect the inclusion of the 4 juco teams is to some degree for recruiting purposes. Notice that 3 members of the Shocks starting 5 are transfers from Indian Hills CC. Now whether or not that is the best way to build a roster is debatable. Perhaps it is the best way for Wichita State.

    The Shocks did close with their best round of the tournament coming in with a 6-under par effort in the 3rd and final round. The moved them to 3-under for the tournament and a 5th place finish. -The Shocks had the 2nd best team score in the final round 1 stroke behind ULMs 7-under par. ULM finished 4th at 13-under.

    After shooting 25-under in yesterday's final two round Sam Houston came in a 2-under in today's final round but that was enough to edge Abilene Christian who also was at 25-under coming into the final round but only managed an even par team score today. Rice finished 3rd coming in at 1-under par today for to finish at 23-under. Scoring was much tougher to come by in today's 3rd round except for ULM and the Shocks.

    Here is how the Shocks finished:

    Jose Ramirez: 70+70+69 = 209 (-7) -- Nice consistent work from Jose. Finished in a 3-way tie for 9th on the player leaderboard.
    Mitchell Revie: 72+71+72 = 215 (-1) -- Nice consistency from Mitchell as well.​
    Michael Winslow: 74+73+70 = 217 (+1) -- Improved round-by-round. Not terrible but Michael is capable of more.
    Ty Adkins: 76+73+71 = 220 (+4) -- Improved round-by-round as well.
    Lucas Scheufler: 78+79+76 = 233 (+17) -- Use the force Lucas, use the force.

    The Shocks finished with a team score of 4-over par in Round 1 in Houston putting them in 9th in the 11 team field. Houston is not competing as a team as they have 3 players entered as individuals. However, the Rice B team is playing in the team competition.

    Sam Houston at 15-under, Rice at 14-under and Abilene Christian at 13-under have pretty much separated from the field after round 1.

    Jose Ramirez 70 (-2) Mitchell Revie 72 (E) Michael Winslow 74 (+2) and Ty Adkins 76 (+4) contributed to the Shocks 4-over effort. Lucas Scheufler had the throw away score at 78 (+6).


    I think the Shocks had climbed all the way up to 5th place but fell off a bit at the end of round 2 and find themselves in 8th place at 3-over par after a 1-under par team scored in round 2.

    Sam Houston and Abilene Christian at 25-under and Rice at 22-under continue to lap the field.

    Jose Ramirez carded a second straight 2-under par 70 to put him at 4-under for the tournament and in a 4-way tie for 14th on the player leaderboard. Mitchell Revie 71 (-1), Michael Winslow 73 (+1), and Ty Adkins 73 (+1) rounded out the scoring in round 2 for the Shocks. Lucas Scheufler has been a non-factor today with his 2nd throw away score of the day with a 79 (+7).

    The Shocks are only 2 shots behind 5th place Lamar so they could move into a top 5 finish with strong finish tomorrow.

    The Shocks need to bounce back from a not very good showing there last time out in Lincoln. Lucas Scheufler is back in the line up and Jose Carletta is out. ​

    Things didn't go so well for the Shocks in the 3rd and final round in Lincoln. As I mentioned after round 2 there were 5 teams within 3 strokes of the Shockers. 4 of those 5 teams passed the Shocks today. The Shockers reverted back to their Round 1 form with a 7-over par team score putting them at 15-over for the tournament and dropping them to 10th place ahead of only Omaha and Creighton and 1 stroke behind the Nebraska B Team. The Shocks finished 37 strokes behind 1st place Sam Houston State at 22-under with only South Alabama staying within shouting distance at 14-under par. They were the only 2 teams to break par for the tournament.

    The only slightly positive note is that Creighton finished last, 25 strokes behind the Shockers. Ahhh!

    Here is how the Shocks finished:

    Michael Winslow: 74-68-73 = 215 (+2)
    Jose Ramirez: 72-70-73 = 215 (+2)
    Mitchell Revie: 74+75+73 = 222 (+9)
    Ty Adkins: 77+74+72 = 223 (+10)
    Jose Carletta: 73+71+79 = 223 (+10)

    Throw away score.

    The Shocks finished round 1 at 9-over par and in in a 9th place tie with South Dakota State in the 12-team field (including Nebraska's B-Team) 18 shots behind Louisiana's 9-under par score. Not a good start.

    Jose Ramirez 72 (+1), Jose Carletta 73 (+2), Mitchell Revie 74 (+3) and Michael Winslow 74 (+3) in Round 1. Ty Adkins had the throw away score at 77 (+6).

    Round 2 is just getting underway.

    The Shocks played much better in round 2 posting a 1-under par team score, putting then at 8-over for the tournament and moving up to a tie for 6th. Sam Houston State posted an 12-under team score in round 2 and is 11 strokes clear of the field at 17-under for the tournament. South Alabama -6, Nebraska -1, Lousiana at even par and Xavier at 4-over sit in the top 5 spots.

    The Shocks 9-over round 1 put them behind the 8-ball.

    Michael Winslow 68 (-3), Jose Ramirez 70 (-1), Jose Carleta 71 (E), and Ty Adkins at 74 (+3) contributed to the Shocks scoring in Round 2. Mitchel Revie at 75 (+4) had the throw away score.

    Maybe with a good score tomorrow the Shocks could catch Xavier for 5th place. OTOH, 5 teams are within 3 strokes behind the Shocks.

    Apparently either the course setup was made tougher today or the weather conditions were tougher, but in any case the scoring seemed to be higher than yesterday pretty much across the board.

    SIU-E and the Shocks both came in with team scores of even par for the final round as SIU-E holds on for a 4-stroke win over the runner-up Shockers at 15-under to 11-under.

    Michael Winslow was 3-over on the front 9 today but could not find the birdies on the back 9 has he made 9 pars on the back 9 after racking up 8 birdies and an eagle in the first 2 rounds yesterday. Michaels 3-over 74 put him at 5-under for the tournament and in a 5-way tie for 6th place.

    Lucas Scheufler had his best round of the tournament today leading the Shocks on the round with a 1-under 70. Lucas finished the tournament at 5-over par.

    Ty Adkins, after competing in on 2 fall events as a freshman last year, got his sophomore year off to a good start with matching par 71 today and finishing 1 shot behind Michael at 4-under in a 4-way tie for 11th place.

    Newcomer Jose Carletta also shot a even par 71 today and finished at even par for the tournament in a 3-way tie for 23rd.

    The Shockers other newcomer Jose Ramirez shot a 1-over 72 today and finished 3-over for the tournament.

    Seems like a decent start for the Shocks after losing their 3 top golfers from last year (based on stroke average). A little hard to measure how this performance would stack up in the AAC.
