K-State men's golf team atop leaderboard entering the final round of the Jim Colbert Intercollegiate

The K-State men’s golf team is in first place with an 8-stroke lead entering the final round of the Jim Colbert Intercollegiate today.

The team shot a 287 during the rain-shortened first day of the event. Originally, the teams were to play 36 holes of golf yesterday, but soggy conditions forced play to begin at 1 p.m. instead of the scheduled start of 8:30 a.m.

The Wildcats led the field with Illinois St., Kansas, UMKC and Western Illinois rounding out the top 5.

Individually, the Wildcats performed well with Joe Ida tied for second. Mitchell Gregson and Curtis Yonke both tied for fourth.

If the Wildcats come out on top tomorrow, they will win their first tournament this season and the Jim Colbert Intercollegiate for the second year in a row.

Also worth noting: Former Wildcat golfer Robert Streb won his professional debut last weekend at the Oklahoma Open in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Streb, who graduated from K-State in 2008 and led last year’s team as its lone senior, shot a 4-under-par 66 to win the event by four strokes over second-place finisher Danny Edwards.

He led last year’s Wildcat men’s golf team with a school-record 71.59 stroke average and had 12 top-20 individual finishes as a senior as well.
