UTEP Men’s Golf Wins Price’s Tourney
The UTEP men’s golf team took the championship at the Price’s “Give ‘Em Five” Invitational on Sunday at Butterfield Trail Golf Club. The Miners took the lead Friday and never looked back, winning their only home tournament of the season with a 35-under-par 829 (276-280-273 ). The Miners beat second-place UTSA by 13 strokes. The Roadrunners finished with a 22-under-par 842 (282-289-271 ). UTSA’s Zander Lozano won the Price’s tourney, finishing with a 14-under-par 202 (66-70-66 ). “We had a double-digit lead pretty much throughout the day but we had gotten off to a poor start,” head coach Scott Lieberwirth said. “Nobody was really making a charge until UTSA, in the middle of the round, started playing really well. But that was about the same time we were turning things around. When it got late in the round and we only had a couple of holes left, we still had a 12-shot lead. We knew it was pretty much done at that point.
