UNLV struggles with patience during Southern Highlands Collegiate

Out of the previous 11 UNLV men’s golf home tournaments, the Rebels had won seven of them.

The team didn’t add their eighth victory in 12 years following a disappointing effort at the 2016 Southern Highlands Collegiate played at the private Southern Highlands Golf Club, the Rebels home course.

UNLV finished 12th at 27-over par, 22 strokes behind USC, the fourth-ranked team in the country. Florida, coached by former UNLV player and assistant coach J.C. Deacon, finished as the runner-up.

Florida’s Sam Horsfield, the nation’s 17th-ranked player, finished at 7-under par and won the individual title by four strokes over USC’s Sean Crocker.
