     SAN ANTONIO, Texas -
The Texas Wesleyan golf team came from 18 shots back after the first round to finish second at the Ratler Invitational Tuesday afternoon.

     Texas Wesleyan (293-278-279-850) finished the tournament at 14-under par and the Rams had all four counting scores in rounds two and three below par for the first time in over two years.

     Cameron University (275-291-289-849) took home first-place honors. They held an 18-shot advantage after round one but the Rams came storming back with two brilliant rounds to finish one stroke back.

     "The first round is what kept us from winning the tournament," head coach Kevin Millikan said. "We didn't play bad, we just didn't make our putts. We had the opportunities but didn't finish."

     Sophomore Scott Sikes (71-68-68-207) finished in second place finishing at nine-under par for the tournament. This came after his victory at the Grand Canyon Invitational just two weeks ago. In his last six rounds of golf, the Irving, Texas native, is 18-under par, with every round under par.

     "Scott put together another nice performance," Millikan said. "He is firing on all cylinders and the team is following his lead.

     Junior Reino Deetlefs (74-70-70-214) finished in eighth place, while sophomore Dan Hahn (76-70-70-216) and senior Justin Ward (74-70-72-216) finished in a tie for ninth place. Senior Euan McIntosh (74-77-71-222) rounded out the scoring for the Rams in a tie for 28th.

     Texas Wesleyan will be back in action Monday when they travel to Oklahoma City, Okla. to take part in the Oklahoma Christian Eagle Invitational. The 36-hole tournament will end on Tuesday.
