PALM DESERT, Calif. -- Justin Haley, Scott Patterson and Camden Price all carded final-round 73s as the Cal Poly men's golf team finished in seventh place in the Wyoming Cowboy Desert Intercollegiate, which concluded a three-day run Sunday at The Classic Club/Troon Course.
Coach Scott Cartwright's Mustangs carded a four-person final-round 296, equalling their first-round total, and finished with a 54-hole 29-over-par 893 aggregate on the 7,305-yard, par-72 course. Cal Poly was seventh after each of the three rounds of play.
Texas Christian led from wire to wire for the team title, scoring a 19-under-par 845 total following a final-round 280 on a windy day in which balls were being pushed off the greens.

Haley (pictured at right) finished in a tie for 20th place with his three-over-par 219 total while Patterson claimed a 29th-place tie with a 222 aggregate. Price finished in a tie for 36th place at 224.
