Houston men’s golf secured the runner-up finish on Tuesday afternoon at the Bayou City Collegiate Classic, shooting 19-under across three rounds on the par-72 at Westwood Golf Course.
The Cougars brought the tournament to a close with a 5-under final round, marking their second consecutive top-two finish to begin a season — a feat last accomplished by the 1984-85 national championship team.
Bayou City Collegiate individual results
Junior Grant Doggett began his week strong with an eagle to close a 6-under opening round and never looked back.
