EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan State's three-round total of 312-309-305=926 placed MSU 18th in the 19-team field at the Southwest UdaMon/Classic held at The Victoria Country Club in Victoria, Texas. The course measures a total of 6,800 yards and is a par 72 course. The Spartans' three-round team score of 926 was 62-over par and forty-eight strokes behind tournament winner Colorado. Colorado finished at fourteen-over par.
The tournament was MSU's first competition of the spring season and marked the return of interim head coach Bruce Fossum. Fossum guided the Spartan program for 24 years before retiring in 1989. The long break coming off the fall season may have been a contributing factor in the Spartans' high rounds. Their three rounds of golf were more than 18 strokes over their fall team average of 290.1.
Senior Alberto Quevedo (Canary Islands, Spain) shot rounds of 82-73-75=230 to lead the Spartans. He was the only MSU golfer to finish in the top 50.
This was the Spartans first action of the 1999 season. They do not return to action again until the Border Olympics in Laredo, Texas, on the 20th-21st of March.
