The Valparaiso University men’s golf team finished with a 54-hole team score of 921 at the Crusader Collegiate following Wednesday’s third round, placing third in the event. Valpo rounded out the tournament with its best round as a team, posting a 300 on the final day of competition at Sand Creek Country Club in Chesterton, Ind.
How It Happened
Inside the Rounds
Thoughts from Head Coach Dave Gring
“It was a thrill for all four teams to be in the hunt with about six holes remaining. All of the players and coaches were very engaged in the event since the scoring was so close. Even though the steady rain on the front nine made most of the holes quite challenging, the guys played hard, all the way down to the final hole."
"The last nine holes of the tournament were our best nine holes and I was pleased with the strong effort by the guys coming down the stretch. Our team score improved with each round of the tournament and our birdie production was the best of all three rounds. These are good indications of the team playing smarter and more effective as the tournament was progressed.
"The Crusader Collegiate is our only home tournament of the year and I was very pleased with how our team performed along with our ability to host our competitors in the event. I'm grateful to our volunteers, the Athletic Department and the family and friends who came out to support us. Our friends at Sand Creek Country Club were fantastic to work with and the golf course was in amazing shape the entire tournament."
