AMARILLO, Texas – JOSE HERNANDEZ finished the Ryan Palmer Foundation Invite in a tie for second place at the Tascosa Country Club on Tuesday afternoon. The Hilltoppers finished in a tie for fifth place with Colorado-Colorado Springs. The two-day tournament consisted of 17 teams and 96 golfers.

Kirby Gorzell of St. Mary's edged out both golfers by one stroke to take home the individual title.
 
Men's golf coach Todd Ohlmeyer commented on Jose's performance, “I know Jose is disappointed with today, but he will learn from this experience and get better. He is one of the best players in the country and he will continue to prove this throughout the year.”
 
BRIAN SMITH finished the third round by shooting a 74. He finished the tournament in a five-way tie for 21st and a three-round total of 217.

Coach Ohlmeyer had this to say about his team's performance, “Obviously as a group we are disappointed with today's round but we showed signs of the team we can be. We were in position to win today but didn't convert. We will learn from this experience and be better because of it.”
