In UNLV's only tournament of the month, Kinsinger led the Rebels to a third-place finish among a field of 15 teams, including 11 ranked in the latest GolfStat Standings, at the Morris Williams Intercollegiate on April 7-8. Kinsinger carded a 1-over 214 (70-72-72) on the par-71, 7,412-yard University of Texas Golf Course. He was the highest MWC finisher (BYU, UNM and TCU also competed in the tournament), placing third overall in the field of 78 golfers.
