Garden City, KS -- The Indian Hills golf team survived a cold, windy trip to win the Western Kansas Collegiate Golf Tournament. The Warriors won with a 13-stroke margin over runnerup Hutchinson CC. IHCC finished the two-day, 54-hole tournament with a 942 total.
When the teams teed off on Tuesday morning, the temperature was in the low 40s and the winds were howling at 30 mph.
Despite the less-than-ideal conditions, Indian Hills sophomore Kurt Slattery had an impressive performance. Slattery carded an opening-round 74 and followed it up with rounds of 82 and 74 on Tuesday to claim meet medalist honors. IHCC coach Mike Hagen was amazed at the way Slattery played, saying, "Kurt played unbelievable. He really kept his head in it."
Slattery's score of 230 bested Dale Middleton of Hutchinson and Trevor Johanson of Johnson County by one stroke. The Warriors' Dan Dawson came in sixth with a 236 and teammate Cameron Monroe was seventh at 239.
Indian Hills will host Iowa Western in a dual meet at the Ottumwa Country Club on Oct. 6. After that, the Warriors will head to Huntsville, Alabama for the NJCAA Division I National Preview meet Oct. 12 and 13.
