OMAHA, Neb. – The 34th Kansas-Nebraska Junior Cup ended in a tie for just the fourth time in the event’s history, with the defending champions from Nebraska retaining the cup after the teams finished in an 8-all tie, at Omaha Country Club. The teams from Kansas and Nebraska entered the day deadlocked at 4-all, after a split of the first two sessions on the first day. Kansas jumped out to a 3-1 lead after the Four-Ball matches, before Nebraska stormed back to tie it with a 3-1 Foursomes session. Kansas took the lead in a few of the early matches, but Nebraska’s top point earner, Reed Malleck of York, fought back in the lead match to start a rally. Malleck tied his match against future Kansas Jayhawk Sion Audrain of Garden City, and it all came down to the last match. Norfolk’s Jake Kluver also tied his match against Tyler Trudo of Wichita for the clinching point, as the teams split the Singles session, 4-all, and Nebraska retained the cup.

The Kansas Tournament team is coached by Hutchinson’s Rusty Hilst who is the Kansas Golf Association Tournament Director.
