Chris Hartwig Season 2003-04

Senior (2003-04)
Chris Hartwig played in all six of Nebraska’s fall tournaments and his stroke average of 75.81 tied for the third-lowest on the team. He finished in the top 40 on three occasions in the fall, led by a tie for 29th place in the Squire Creek Invitational, the Huskers’ final fall tournament. Hartwig shot 75 or lower in seven of his 16 fall rounds, including a season-low 71 in the second round of the 49er Collegiate Classic. He enters his final spring in the Husker program with high hopes for a strong finish to his Nebraska career. Hartwig has been a part-time starter throughout his first four years in the program, but established himself as a regular in Coach Bill Spangler’s starting five last fall. Hartwig showed glimpses of his scoring potential in the fall, but Spangler will be looking for better consistency from the fifth-year senior from Lincoln in the spring.

Junior (2002-03)
Hartwig played in Nebraska’s first three tournaments of the fall campaign and competed in two spring tournaments, including the Big 12 Championships. His top finish of his junior campaign was a tie for 30th place at the North Texas Invite, when he tied his career-low round of 70 in the second round. Hartwig finished the year with a 80.0 stroke average.

Sophomore (2001-02)
In 25 rounds of play, Hartwig completed the season with a 79.12 scoring average. A round of 70 and a 223 total in the Branson Creek Invite marked season bests for Hartwig. Hartwig completed two rounds of play at the Wildcat Invitational with a 154 total, good for a tie for fifth place, the top finish of his Husker career.

Freshman (1999-00)
