February 07, 2025 | Men's Golf
WAIMEA, Hawaii – After two rounds of play, the Washington men's golf team sits in 17th at the Amer Ari at Mauna Lani Resort Golf Club.
Â
The huskies got off to a sluggish start before partially rebounding, ending the day one-under par for the day, two-under overall for the tournament.
Â
"We had the chance to turn it into a really good team round but we just aren't ruthless enough," Head coach Allan Murray said. "We threw it into reverse when we could have hit the gas pedal."
Â
Jack Murphy leads the Dawgs on the leaderboard, tied for 53rd after tallying a three-under second round. Finn Koelle fired a Husky-best four-under 68, sitting tied for 68th at one-under overall.
Â
"Solid rounds from Finn and Jack today" said Murray, "Finn was really steady all day and apart from a couple of mistakes played a good round of golf. Jack was two-over through three holes and got it turned around."
Â
Drew Warford ended the day tied for 87th after shooting one-over for the day, two-over for the tournament. Brock Maulding shot five-over Friday and is tied for 94th, while Abel Derksen struggled through a 10-over second round and is tied for 114th.
Â
"One more round before we leave here," concluded Murray. "It's important we come away from here with a really good team round so we need to be at it tomorrow."
Â
The third round will begin with another shotgun start to finish off the Amer Ari with Washington teeing off at 9:30 a.m. PT, paired with Hawaii-Hilo, San Jose State and Osaka Gakuin (Japan).
