     OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - The Texas Wesleyan golf team finished third in the River Oaks Intercollegiate at the River Oaks Country Club Tuesday afternoon.

     Texas Wesleyan (298-290-298=886) finished 43 strokes behind tournament-winner Oklahoma City who shot a nine-under, 843 for the three-round event. The Rams also finished seven strokes back of tournament-host Oklahoma Christian (292-291-296=879).

     "This wasn't our strongest showing, but we play in one of the toughest regions in the country," head coach Kevin Millikan said. "This is probably the toughest field we will have to play against during the regular season. We know we will have to beat these teams at some point."

     Sophomore Reino Deetlefs (74-67-73=214) continued to impress, finishing in fourth place at one-over par.

     "Reino had another solid tournament," Millikan said. "To finish fourth in a field like this is an accomplishment. He is making a strong bid for All-America."

     Also competing for Texas Wesleyan were, freshman Justin Smith (76-72-76=224) who finished tied for 18th, junior Euan McIntsoh (72-80-73=225) who finished tied for 21st, freshman Scott Sikes (76-76-76=228) who finished tied for 30th and freshman Dan Hahn (78-75-81=234) who finished tied for 49th.

     Texas Wesleyan will be back in action April 19-20, when they compete in the Pioneer Invitational. The 54-hole event will take place in Lubbock, Texas.
