The Texas Longhorns men’s golf team finished in fifth place at the Querencia Cabo Colle- giate on Tuesday in Los Cabos, Mexico.

Three Longhorns finished in the top 18, but Texas dropped from second place after the third and final round.

Texas shot 846, 6-under, after carding a 291 in the third round. The Longhorns shot 282 in the second round to fall to second place after being tied for first after Day 1.

Scottie Scheffler shot the low round of the day for Texas, carding a 69 to finish at 217, tied for 35th place. He made four birdies and an eagle on the day.

Doug Ghim and Steven Chervony tied for 13th overall, each shooting 209, 4-under, after three rounds of com- petition.

Ghim shot 73, including two birdies, in the final round after shooting in the 60s (6769) through the first two days of action.

Chervony shot 75 Tuesday, following career lows on Sun- day and Monday. He started the competitio­n with a 66 on Sunday to sit in second place before he shot 68 on Monday.

Gavin Hall also shot in the 60s in the first two days of competitio­n, but he finished the tournament in a tie for 18th place after shooting a 74 Tuesday.

Nick Costello tied for 77th after shooting his best round of 75 on Tuesday.

Belichick to speak at Texas Coaches Clinic: Bill Belichick, coach of the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, will be the keynote speaker at the Texas Coaches Clinic in April, UT coach Tom Herman tweeted Tuesday.

The annual event is two days, with members of the Texas High School Coaches Associatio­n attending the clinic from April 7-8. Because the NCAA will not allow high school coaches to speak, Herman has brought in arguably one of the greatest football coaches in the history of the sport.

Belichick has won five Super Bowls as coach of the Patriots, more than any other coach in NFL history. He is a three-time Associated Press NFL coach of the year winner and has been in charge of the Patriots since 2000.
