GOODYEAR, Ariz. - Led by freshman Shaun O'Bryant (Colorado Springs, Colo.), the Air Force golf team finished in 17th place at the Ron Moore Invitational, hosted by the University of Denver at the par-72, 7,015-yard Palm Valley Golf Club. Louisville won the team title with a three-round total of 836 (-28), just one stroke ahead of second-place Nebraska and two strokes ahead of third-place Denver. James Love of Denver captured medalist honors with a 17-under-par 199.
