Wichita, KS -- Indian Hills freshman Conner Peck made quite a splash in his first round as a collegian and the Warriors went on to finish 3rd in the eight-team Diet Pepsi Shocker Invitational.
Peck had the low round of the tourney, a sparkling seven-under par 64 in the first round. And even after slipping to a 76 in the 3rd round, he still wound up tied for 7th in his first meet as a Warrior. His 211 score was one stroke better than IHCC's William White, who likewise had his problems in the 3rd round.
White fired a three-under 68 in the opening round and followed that up with a 65 in the 2nd round before settling for a final-round 79 and a 212 total.
Ben Ludlam and Mitch Tucker, two of the prominent members of last spring's IHCC national tournament championship team, had solid starts to their sophomore campaigns.
Ludlam, the Phil Mickelson Award winner as a frosh, had an even-par 71 and a one-under 70 on his way to a 216 total and a tie for 25th. Tucker had rounds of 72 and 69 and tied for 27th at 217.
Indian Hills actually led the field, made up of seven four-year schools and the Warriors, after the first round when IHCC, spurred by Peck's round of 64, had a two-shot lead over Wichita State. The Warriors were still only five strokes behind the host Shockers after round two, but Wichita State ran away with the team title in the final round.
The Warriors ended up 22 shots behind WSU, but only six in back of runnerup Kansas State.
