The Houston men’s golf team opened their individual spring schedule with two tournaments: the Houston Classic in Humble and the Bentwater Intercollegiate in Montgomery.
Several golfers recorded top-15 finishes despite rainy conditions across the two-day tournament.
Sophomore Hudson Weibel led the Cougars by shooting 3-under-par and finished in fifth place at the Houston Classic.
Senior Laurenz Schiergen followed one stroke behind at 2-under-par and finished in a two-way tie for sixth place.
Other placements include sophomore Chi Chun Chen, who finished two over in a seven-way tie for 15th place, and junior Ruben Lindsay, who shot 5-over-par and tied for 29th place.
At the Bentwater Intercollegiate tournament, sophomore Grant Doggett led the Cougars by finishing 3-over-par and setting a new career best on 54 holes.
Following behind was junior teammate Bryant Hiskey II, who finished 4-over-par and placed 15th.
Chen finished in 44th place and shot nine over par.
Next, the Cougars open the spring season as a team at the Border Olympics at the Laredo Country Club in Laredo, Texas, on Feb. 17-18.
