The Dodge City Community College men’s golf squad held on for a one-stroke victory Monday at the Hesston Invitational to maintain its lead in the Jayhawk Conference over Hutchinson.
DC3 came out swinging during the first round, shooting a tournament low 288 with Hutchinson trailing the Conqs by 11.
But round two was a different story.
Hutchinson took advantage of every Conquistador mistake, erasing that 11-shot deficit with a second-round team total of 291.
However, Dodge City did just what it needed to do — shoot one shot better than second with a team total of 301 and escape Hesston with the tournament crown.
With this KJCCC tournament win, the Conqs continue to lead the conference with 29 team points, thanks to two conference event wins and a second place-finish. Hutchinson is breathing down their neck with 27 total team points.
As for the individuals, DC3 was led by freshman Mariano Rossi. The Argentine finished second overall in the 10-team field, firing rounds of 72-70 for an even par 142.
Other results for the Conqs include Loran Richmeier (fifth with 146), Bobby Tagart (seventh with 150), Alex Tiong (tied for eighth with 151) and Taylor Olney (tied for 16th with 157).
In the race for individual KJCCC honors, Tiong lost his first-place overall position but is now tied for second with 19 points, a point and a half behind Ben Cotton of Hutchinson. Mariano Rossi currently sits in fourth with 18.5 points ,and Loran Richmeier is within striking distance in sixth with 14.5 points.
The Conqs are off until mid-October, when they travel to Newton to take part in the College Preview tournament.
