BREMERTON, Wash. - Due to severe weather conditions the final round of the Husky Invitational was canceled Tuesday afternoon in Bremerton, Wash. Unable to play the third round, all scores from the first day of the tournament became final with the Washington State men's golf team taking 13th place overall while senior Daniel Kolar missed out on a chance to take the individual title, finishing in a tie for fifth just one-stroke back of the six-under needed to win.

First Day Recap:

Washington State Men's Golf ended 36 holes in 13th place overall at the conclusion of the first day of the Husky Invitational hosted by the University of Washington at Gold Mountain Olympic Course in Bremerton, Wash.

Senior Daniel Kolar produced a career day to open his final campaign at WSU as the fourth-year golfer holds the top spot for the Cougars, scoring a 139 (-5) through two rounds. The pair of under-par rounds marked the first time in Kolar's career that the senior had been under par in back-to-back rounds. His career effort put him in a tie for fifth place, just two strokes off the lead heading into the final 18 holes of play Tuesday. Behind Kolar, freshman Clayton Thatcher took the number two spot for the Cougars carding a 150 (+6) for a tie for 54th.
