FRANKLIN, Ind. – The University of Kentucky men?s golf team completed a great showing at the Legends Invitational with a 7th place finish after a season-best round of 288 on Tuesday. The Cats had a three round total of 885 (308-289-288).

Ron Layman was the low man for the Cats as he posted a final round of 70, a season-best, giving the senior a three round total of 218 (75-73-70) good for 9th place. Layman finished just four strokes behind the winner, Stave Ratay of Notre Dame who recorded a 214 (71-70-73). Freshman Andy Dustman also scored well in the final round with a 71 that moved him from 27th place after day one, to 23rd and a three round total of 222 (78-73-71).

Some drama was added to the tournament as determining the team champion required a playoff that was won by Miami of Ohio over Ratay and Notre Dame. Miami came from five strokes back heading into the final day to tie UND and force the playoff. The two teams finished the regulation three rounds with scores of 878: 302-293-283 for Miami and 296-294-288 for the Irish.

The Wildcats return to the links on Oct. 11-12 when they head to Kings Island, Ohio for the Xavier Invitational.
