Golf places 13th, 16th in tournaments Colter Kautzmann tied for 23rd at two over par 218 as the UI men’s golf team finished 13th in its season debut at the Purple and Red Invitational. The Vandals had a team total of 888. They rallied with two solid rounds after an inauspicious start to the 54-hole tournament. “That first round really got us,” Idaho coach Brad Rickel said. “I don’t know if we were tight or uptight or too anxious. Once they settled down, it got much better as the tournament went on. I’m looking forward to seeing more of that.” Russell Grove was two shots back of Kautzmann at 220 and in a tie for 33rd. Jacob Koppenberg tied for 40th (223), Craig O’Meara tied for 60th (227), Brad Tensen was 82nd (234) and Aaron Biel tied for 89th (246).Hartford won the 18-team event with 863. As for the women’s team, the freshmen took center stage to shoot their way to a sixth-place finish in the opener for the 2006-07 season. Amanda Jacobs, who joined the Vandals just a few weeks ago as a freshman out of Portland, Ore., tied for 14th in her first collegiate event. Elizabeth Stonecypher, from Yelm, Wash., tied for 25th – just one stroke head of veteran teammates Renee Skidmore and Kelly Nakashima. Cassie Castleman wrapped up the Vandal scoring in a tie for 52nd. “They stepped up really big for us,” Rickel said of Jacobs and Stonecypher. “It really shows the future is bright. I think now they know how good they can be.” Jacobs finished the event at eight over 224, while Stonecypher was at 227, Skidmore and Nakashima at 228 and Castleman at 235. The University of Denver won the tournament with a team total of 878. UC Davis was second (894), Long Beach State third (898), Oregon State fourth (899) and UC Irvine was fifth (902).
