Dallas, Texas — After winning the Bayou City Collegiate Classic last week, the Rice Men's Golf team made history, earning co-champion honors at the Trinity Forest Invitational, winning consecutive tournaments for the first time in school history.
It fired an 11-under 277 to finish 32-under par to share the title with USC. Their score to par of -32 is a school record, and their 54-hole score of 832 tied the record.
Senior Lukas Boandl shot a 69 to finish at -15. He tied for the individual lead, but lost in a playoff on the second hole to Houston's Hudson Weibel.
It's his third career first-place finish, tying Mitchell Meissner for the most in school history.
The -15 and 54-hole score of 201 are both the second lowest in school history. The 69 is his sixth round of par or better this year, and the 20th of his career. It's also his team leading 11th round of par or better this year, and the 49th of his career, which passed Mario Carmona for the third-most in school history.
Junior Reggie Zhu had his best round of the season, firing a 67 to finish in a tie for 12th-place at -7. It's his seventh round of par or better this year and the 26th of his career. It is his first round in the 60's this year, and the sixth of his career.
Redshirt junior Henry Daly tied for 18th-place at -4 after carding an even par 72. It is his 10th round of par or better this year and the 17th of his career.
Sophomore Daniel Zou carded a 74 to finish -1 in a tie for 31st-place.
Freshman Raines Watson tied his season-best round, firing a 69 to finish in a tie for 59th-place at +7. It is his fifth round of par or better this year and his second round in the 60's.
Sophomore William Johnson, playing as an individual, finished at +14 in 84th-place after posting a 76.

"I'm over the moon excited for this team. They are making history every time they tee it up. We have a whole lot of golf left this season, so we'll celebrate this one and then get back to work. Our job is not done."
