There was no squeaking into the next stage of postseason play this time.
The Longhorns were not able to mount a comeback in the final round of the NCAA Championship and failed to qualify for the match play portion of the tournament. The Longhorns stayed near the middle of the pack most of the tournament, and finished in 12th place at 31-over for the tournament, thus ending their season in Oklahoma City at Karsten Creek Golf Club.
The roster of the 2011 All-Big 12 team was released Tuesday, and a trio of Longhorns received honors. Senior Bobby Hudson, junior Dylan Frittelli and freshman Toni Hakula were among 11 student-athletes recognized by the conference.
Hudson was honored for the third time in his career after posting three top-10 finishes this season. His best finish came at the Amer Ari Invitational in which he tied for first.
The Longhorns were able to salvage at least one match victory Tuesday, after defeating Baylor 4-1 in the final round of the Callaway Collegiate Match Play Championship.

Longhorn senior Bobby Hudson is one of 26 collegiate golfers recently named to the watch list for the 2011 Ben Hogan Award.

The Longhorns finished second in their last outing, the Amer Ari Invitational in Kohala Coast, Hawaii. Senior Bobby Hudson and sophomore Cody Gribble led a late push and each finished in the top 10.

At last year’s Amer Ari, Texas placed fourth overall in a 22-team field and senior Bobby Hudson won the tournament.
Another tournament, another successful showing for the No. 8 ranked Texas men’s golf team. The trip to Columbus, Ohio, to compete in the Jack Nicklaus Invitational at Scioto Country Club reaped them a third-place finish in the final team standings. The seeds of such labors were sewn in the last two rounds of the tournament, where the Longhorns scored the best collective score for those 36 holes out of the entire field with an 8-over par.
A strong finish like that was just what the Longhorns needed, as they struggled out of the gate in the first of their three rounds.
