GRANBURY, Texas (April 12) – Central Oklahoma knocked 17 shots off its first-round score but couldn't move up any in the team standings and finished seventh in the Doc Housewright Tarleton Invitational that concluded here Tuesday.

The Bronchos had four of their five players break 80 in shooting a closing 312 and ended up with a 641 total in two-day, 36-hole tournament at Harbor Lakes Golf Club.

Host Tarleton State finished at 592 to run away with the team title, finishing 20 shots ahead of runner-up Grand Canyon. St. Edward's was third at 619, while California-PA and Northeastern State tied for fourth at 626.

“We played a little better and didn't throw away as many strokes today,” UCO coach Michael Bond said. “It wasn't the performance we wanted and we have a lot of work to do before the conference tournament next week.”

Taylor Neidy led the Bronchos Tuesday with a 77, while Mychael McWhorter and Chaney Uhles both shot 78. UCO also got a 79 from Erica Bensch and Emily Leahey had an 82.

Uhles was the top individual placer, finishing ?? with a 157 total.

The Bronchos travel to San Antonio, Texas next week for the three-day, 54-hole Lone Star Conference Championships, which will be held at the Republic Golf Course on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
