The Lamar Community College golf team traveled to Riverton, Wyoming, this past weekend for Region IX tournament play at Central Wyoming College.

The tournament, scheduled for September 14-15, was cut short due to weather.  While Thursday play began in 78 degrees and light showers, Friday was cancelled due to heavy rains.

Cesar Shinall, who led the team in the first season tournament, struggled in the weather and finished with a 97.

The Lopes finished in sixth place as a team with a one-day total of 338 (+50), only one stroke behind the fifth place Otero Junior College.
