Men’s Golf in 12th After Day 1 of the Cowboy Classic

MARICOPA, Arizona (3/31/25) – The University of Wyoming men’s golf hosted Day 1 of the Cowboy Classic at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club on Monday. Not all teams completed the 36 holes scheduled. As it stands, the Pokes sit 12th as a team at 2-under with either two or three holes remaining in Round 2.

“I’m disappointed in our team performance today,” head coach Joe Jensen said. “We came out flat. And we had a good day of preparation yesterday and just didn’t carry that over to today. I want to have one of the better rounds tomorrow. That’s our goal now.”

Iowa State leads the team standings at 23-under. Long Beach State and Pacific round out the top three at 21- and 16-under, respectively.

Jaren Calkins paces the Cowboys in a tie for 27th at 2-under. He fired a steady opening round 71 (-1) that featured a trio of birdies.  

Kristof Panke is tied for 34th at 1-under. He shot a 72 (E) in Round 1, which saw him hole four birdies.

Davis Seybert, who’s playing as an individual, is also tied for 34th. He boasted five birdies during his first round.

Damon Vilkauskas is tied for 58th at 2-over. He had five birdies in an opening round 71 (-1).

Brody Leid rounds out the Wyoming scorers. He’s tied for 79th at 4-over. Leid carded a first round 70 (-2) where he logged a team-best six birdies.

Patrick Azevedo’s score is the one Wyoming drops. He’s tied for 90th at 5-over. Azevedo carded a first round 75 (+3).

Ethan Smith, who’s also playing as an individual, is tied for 101st at 7-over. He recorded an opening round 72.

The second round will be completed at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday and Round 3 will begin shortly thereafter.
