Cowboys Open Spring Season In Hawaii

April 15, 2003 | Cowboy Golf

Oklahoma State opens the spring portion of its men's golf season when the Cowboys compete in the 24th annual John A. Burns Intercollegiate on Wednesday through Friday.

Fifth-ranked OSU, one of six ranked teams in the 17-team field, is led by third-ranked Charles Howell and No. 20 Edward Loar. The Cowboys will compete in the tournament at the Leilehua Golf Course.

The teams in the event will play three 18-hole rounds on Leilehua's 6,916-yard, par-72 track.

OSU finished second in the event last year, when it was played at Kaneohe Klipper; Howell finished second, and Loar was fourth. OSU finished third in the Burns Intercollegiate in 1998 but won the tournament in 1995 and 1997.
