The Barton Community College men's golf team placed fifth on Tuesday completing the two-day Blue Devil Invitational held at Dub's Dread Golf Club in Kansas City, Kansas.
The Cougars figured out one of the nation's longest distance golf course of 6745 yards on the second day of competition, posting the six team entries' second best round of 310 to finish the tournament three strokes out of third place as an opening score of 325 left the team at 59-over 635.
Making his Barton debut, Carlos Conceicao led the team in finishing tied for fifth of the thirty-seven entry field after posting consistent rounds of 76 and 77 to compile a 9-over 153.
Moving up into the top fifteen, Panupong Chuaychoo shaved three strokes off Monday's 80 scorecard in climbing four spots to a 13th place tie at 13-over 157.
William Barnak also moved up four spots in final round action by following an 82 with a 79 carding for a combined 17-over 161 in tying for the 18th spot.
Joining the two others shooting a Tuesday score of 77, Antoine Martinot made the largest jump up the standings for the Cougars as the final round countered the opening 87 to move into a 23rd place tie at 20-over 164.
Rounding out the team entries in a tie for the 26th position, Takerngsak Chuaychoo climbed up four spots with 87 and 81 rounds for a two-day 24-over 168 score while individualist Brett Thompson's twin 97 rounds placed tied for 26th at 50-over 194.
