Final Results

Columbia, Missouri— The 2014 Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate concluded Tuesday with Mizzou Men’s Golf finishing in seventh place at Bulls Gay Golf Club, Awendaw, South Carolina.
The Tigers used a first-round lead to finish in the top half of the field. They were four-over-par for the tournament and four-under-par as a team on Tuesday, finishing just behind ranked No 36 Kentucky and No. 39 Wake Forest.
Two Southeastern Conference teams finished in the top two spots. No. 30 Auburn (-12) took home the tournament title, while No. 24 South Carolina (-9) finished second.
Euan Walker, pictured above, was the top finisher for the Tigers at Hootie. The freshman (-2) from Troon, Scotland, had his best outing of the spring as he played consistently for the entirety of the tournament and tied for 11th place in a field of 75 players.
The Scot had scores of 69, 74 and 71 for a two-under-par total of 214 over a course of 7,280yd 
Another Scot in the field at Bulls Bay was Kyle Godsman from Hopeman, a final-year student at South Carolina-Aiken.
Kyle shot a brilliant last-round 68 after earlier rounds of 78 and 79. He finished on 225 and T46 position.

Euan Walkaer also played at Bandon Dunes two weeks ago where, after a poor first round, he was instrumental in helping the team win the competition, their third win in the 2013-14 season. See link below.
