Graham Hunt and Jeremy Gandon are unlikely friends. One is 85 years old. The other is 21. One is from Kansas City. The other was born in France. They have as much in common as books and video games.
But they do share something in common, and that connection was strong enough to bring them together Thursday at Colbert Hills Golf Course.
Hunt and Gandon are the only two Kansas State golfers to win an individual conference championship. Hunt won his in 1951, so long ago that the Wildcats played in the Big Six Conference and he purchased his own train ticket to the national tournament when K-State didn’t have money to send him.
