LAHAINA, Hawaii -- The Gonzaga men's golf team finished 11th at the Ka'anapali Collegiate Classic Sunday. It was the final tournament of the Zags' fall schedule.

Sean Walsh led GU, tying for seventh. It marked his fourth top-15 finish through the first four tournaments of the season. The senior was even-par (71) in the third and final round. He finished the tournament with a three-day total of 211 (-2). Walsh entered the last day tied for eighth.

"Sean had another solid showing and he did it while hitting the ball poorly," Gonzaga Head Coach Robert Gray said. "It just shows his resolve to get the ball in the hole and score. It's one thing to play golf; it's another thing to score. It definitely helps to hit the ball great to post a quality score, but definitely not necessary. As we talk about all the time, they don't draw pictures of how you play on the scorecard, it's just a number."

Walsh was eight-under on the course's par-five holes. His 4.11 average on those holes matched the lowest average in the 102-golfer field. The Keller, Texas native finished the tournament with 12 birdies. He had four Sunday, along with 10 pars.

As a team, Gonzaga also moved a spot on the leaderboard in the final round. The Bulldogs went from 12th to 11th after going seven-over (291) in Round 3. Their total matched their first round score. GU had a three-round total of 880 (+28). The Zags went six-under (4.87) on par-five holes.

"We had a chance to finish inside the top-8 today but, like the first two rounds we just didn't take care of the things that kept us from playing better," Gray said. "Three putts, mismanagement in certain situations and just not executing some simple tasks made the difference this week. However, the team played hard all week and I'm proud of them for doing so."

Ryan Gaske had the lowest round for GU on the final day. He carded a 69 (-2) and climbed the leaderboard to a tie for 29th. The junior was two-under on the front-nine, including an eagle on the sixth hole. He had 13 pars, two birdies, and just two bogeys in Round 3. Gaske started the day in a tie for 57th. He finished the tournament even-par on par-three holes. He had a three-round total of 219 (+6).

Will Brueckner tied for 56th, while David Ganz tied for 79th. Brueckner was three-over (74) in Round 3, and Ganz carded an 82 (+11). Ganz also had an eagle on Hole 6. Brueckner had a trio of birdies. Brueckner finished the tournament at 11-over (224) and Ganz was 18-over (231). Angus Montgomery had his best round of the event on the final day. He carded a 77 (+6) Sunday. His three-round total was 235 (22). Montgomery tied for 90th.

"Ryan hit the ball well all week but the putter had him baffled the first two rounds," Gray said. "He made putts today and shot our low team score for the day and second lowest of the week with a 69. Gus' score doesn't reflect his resolve today. He managed to hang in there despite a quadruple bogey on No. 1, playing the rest of the round at plus-1 on a day where only 14 of 102 players broke par. That resolve ended up being huge for us in the final standings."

Oklahoma, which led after the first and second rounds, won the second annual tournament. The No. 13 Sooners dominated the 19-team field finishing at 15-under (837). Twelfth-ranked Georgia placed second at three-under (849).

Georgia's Zach Healy took medalist honors. He was even-par in the final round and finished the event eight-under (205). Brad Dalke of Oklahoma was a stroke behind with a 206 (-7) total. He was four-under on the last day.

"The course definitely played harder the past two rounds with only three team scores posted under par," Gray said. "The second round played the most difficult with steady winds at 20-mph and gusts up to 30-mph. A steady wind blew for today's final round along with some tough pin placements."

The Zags' next tournament is The Prestige at PGA West on Feb. 15-17. The three-day event takes place on the Greg Norman Course in La Quinta, Calif.
