Newton, Kan.- The Omaha men's golf team wrapped up the 201-22 season with a 10th place finish at the Summit League Championship.
The Mavericks added 302 from the third round to end the tournament with a total score of 912. Omaha totaled 298 and 312 in the first and second rounds, respectively.
Josh Peters scored 74(+2) in the final round Tuesday to climb to 27th place on the leaderboard. The junior recorded his third eagle of the season on hole 16. Peters hit his stride in the spring when he ranked in the top-ten in two of the six tournaments.
Carter Doose matched his 77(+5) from the second round with another 77 in round three. The sophomore shares 34th place overall with a three-round total of 229. Doose recorded a new career-best this season with an even 72 at the Derek Dolenc Invitational in Illinois last fall.
Kurtis Rodriguez and Christopher Atkinson totaled 231 in their first Summit League Championship. Rodriguez scored 75(+3) in round three, while Atkinson shot 79(+7). The freshmen tied for 41st place among all golfers. In his freshman campaign, Rodriguez notched three top-ten finishes, including one top five finish at the Joust at Goose Creek in California earlier this spring. Atkinson climbed towards the top of the tables near the end of the season, setting a career-best round of 70(-2) and taking 19th place in the Twin Oaks Intercollegiate at Missouri State.
Mathew Halvorson ended the Summit League Championship with a 76(+4) in the final round. The senior led the Mavericks for much of the season, scoring a career-best 67(-5) in the second round of the Stampede at the Creek in October.
As a team, the Mavericks' best finish came at the Stampede at the Creek, where they placed third in both the fall and spring tournaments. The team's lowest round was 284 from the second round of the Stampede in October, before they bested that with 283 in the first round in April.
