The Washington men’s golf team was one of 20 teams that wasn’t able to play at the Amer Ari Intercollegiate in Hawaii. The tournament, which was supposed to conclude Friday, was canceled Thursday because of poor weather.
The Huskies managed to salvage the trip by beating second-ranked Auburn three matches to two Friday at Kohanaiki Golf Course.
Bo Peng won his match, 4 and 2, over Auburn’s Brendan Valdes, the No. 21-ranked college golfer in the country (GolfStat rankings). Petr Hruby beat J.M. Butler, 3 and 2, while Taehoon Song won, 2 up, over Alex Vogelsong.
UW’s Teddy Lin fell to Auburn’s Carson Bacha, 3 and 2; while Husky Aidan O’Hagan was beaten 3 and 1 by 40th-ranked Evan Vo.
