PEARLAND, Texas — Sophomore Jake Benson and freshman Harrison Hineline each finished in the top five of the Bayou City Collegiate Classic, played at the par-72, 7,254-yard Golfcrest Country Club.
Benson fired a 71 to tie for second-place at four-under par, one stroke behind individual medalist Collin Clark of UTSA. It is his first career top five finish. He also has a team-leading 13 rounds of par or better this year and 21 in his career.
Hineline shot a career-low 68 to finish in finish three-under par and tied for fifth-place, earning his first career top five finish. He set a career-low 54-hole score of 213. The 68 is also his second round in the 60's and his fourth round of par or better.
It is the first time Rice has placed two individuals in the top five since last year's ORU/SFA Spring Break Challenge.
Junior Nicholas Duggan carded a 74 to tie for 22nd-place at four-over par. Freshman Campbell Gibson, playing as an individual, posted an 80 to tie for 37th-place at seven-over par. Campbell also set a career-low 54-hole score at 223.
