COLORADO SPRINGS — The University of Colorado men’s golf team record a second top five finish for the week in capturing second place honors in Air Force’s Gene Miranda Invitational which was completed here Sunday.
Colorado State pulled away from the field in the final round and won with a 30-under par 834 score, as the Rams closed with a 17-under 271. The Buffaloes shot a 4-under 284 for a 5-under 859, moving into the runner-up slot from third place in the process. San Jose State slipped from second into a tie for third with New Mexico State (3-under 861’s), while Wofford claimed fifth at 4-over 868.
Five of the six rounds by the Buffaloes in the young season have been under par, with the sixth an even par total recorded in Saturday’s cold and rainy conditions here.
Sophomore Dylan McDermott led CU for the second straight tournament, finishing with a 3-under 213 after a 1-under 71 Sunday on the 7,541-yard, par-72 Eisenhower Blue Golf Course layout. He recorded another solid consistent performance with 10 birdies, 37 pars and seven bogeys. He played the 12 par-5’s at 7-under over the weekend, tied for second in the 120-man field.
For the week, he owned a 68.8 stroke average with five subpar rounds (four in the 60’s); the other was a 1-over 73 in Saturday’s sloppy conditions. He was medalist in Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish Classic on Monday (10-under 200), leading the Buffs to a fifth-place finish.
All three other scorers for CU on Sunday also closed with 1-under par 71’s.
Sophomore Justin Biwer finished tied for 13th with a 2-under 214; it was his 10th subpar effort in 13 collegiate tournaments, as he continues on an unprecedented pace in school history. He had 10 birdies and 37 pars with six bogeys and a double all told.
Sophomore Tucker Clark ended in a tie for 24th, slashing a stroke off his previous rounds (73-72-71) to post an even 216 total.

Senior Adam Matteson tied for 36th with a 4-over 220; he played the par-3s at 1-under, tying for second-best overall, with his 39 pars tying for fifth in the field.
