STILLWATER, Okla. – Iowa State men's golfers Tripp Kinney and Lachlan Barker concluded their season at the NCAA Stillwater Regional this evening.
Kinney and Barker were among 10 individuals to qualify for the Regional who all competed for the lone qualifying spot for the NCAA Championship.
Kinney, a senior from Waukee, Iowa, posted another solid outing in the final tournament of his career, tying for 12th at 216 in the medalist race. Kinney carded rounds of 75-69-72 and fell five strokes behind A.J. Ott of Colorado State, who locked up the individual qualifying berth with a 211.
Oklahoma State won the team title at 836, 14 shots ahead of second-place Illinois.
Kinney's second-round 69 put him in position to advance. Kinney avoided trouble on the challenging Karsten Creek layout in the final round, suffering just one bogey en route to an even-par 72 today.
A junior from Willunga, Australia, Barker finished in a tie for 36th after posting a final-round 72 today. Barker carded rounds of 79-73-72 for a 224 total in the 54-hole event.
Kinney will go down as one of the best golfers in Iowa State history. The four-time NCAA Regional qualifier and three-time NCAA Championship qualifier was a two-time All-District selection and Honorable Mention All-American in 2019.
Kinney tallied 12 top-10 finishes and 29 sub-70 rounds in his career. His 72.65 career stroke average ranks fifth in school history.
