Mean Green Update: Men’s golf
Kyle Harty / Intern The No. 26 UNT men’s golf team rallied but eventually came up short on the final day of the NCAA Bowling Green Regional in Kentucky last week, finishing in seventh place. The team’s season came to an end Friday after the Sun Belt Conference champions failed to make enough shots to advance to the NCAA tournament. The team struggled on Day 2, shooting an 11-over par 299. The Mean Green started Day 3 tied for 10th place.
