FRISCO, Texas \u2013 The No. 2 seed Texas A&M men’s golf team fell to top-seeded Texas, 4-1, in the championship match of the Jackson T. Stephens Cup on Wednesday at Fields Ranch East in Frisco, Texas.<\/p>\n
Texas jumped out in front early and never trailed, closing out three of the five matches before the 18th hole.<\/p>\n
Freshman Landon Ashcraft<\/a> picked up the lone point for the Aggies, rolling to a 6&4 victory over Adam Villanueva in Match 3, the most decisive result of the day for either side.<\/p>\n The rest of the lineup went Texas’ way. Eduardo Derbez opened the day with a 4&2 win over Kris Kuvaas<\/a> in Match 1, and Daniel Bennett edged Aaron Pounds<\/a> 1 up in Match 2, giving the Longhorns an early cushion.<\/p>\n Third-place stroke-play finisher Shiv Parmar<\/a>, who carried the Aggies with a team-best 6-under performance over 54 holes, pushed his match with Matt Comegys to the 15th hole before falling 2 up. Wheaton Ennis<\/a>, fresh off climbing into fourth place individually during stroke play, dropped his match to Brooks Harper, 4&3, in Match 5.<\/p>\n With the loss, Texas A&M closes out the Jackson T. Stephens Cup as stroke-play runner-up and match-play finalist, a strong showing to close the fall portion of the schedule. The Aggies advanced to the championship match on the strength of a 4-under 860 across 54 holes of stroke play, punctuated by Parmar’s career-best third-place individual finish and Ennis’ fourth-place showing.<\/p>\n What\u2019s Next For The Aggies Sept. 21-22: Bayou City Collegiate Classic Oct. 4-5: Fighting Irish Classic Follow the Aggies \u00a0<\/p>\n – aTm –<\/p>\n
