Valpo Finishes as Team Runner-Up After Final Round Rained Out

The Valparaiso University men’s golf team finished tied for second in a 19-team field at this week’s Golfweek/AGT Intercollegiate, hosted at the par-72, 6940-yard True Blue Golf Course in Pawleys Island, S.C. Wednesday’s final round was rained out when the skies opened up midway through the round, causing the final scores to revert back to the scores through two rounds.

Valpo finished the event with a 36-hole score of 571 (276-295), tied for second with Long Island and only a stroke behind champion Richmond (570).

Caleb VanArragon (Blaine, Minn. / Blaine) posted a 36-hole score of 137 (-7), one stroke behind Richmond’s Cole Ekert for the top spot in a 100-player field. He had the second-best 36-hole tournament score in program history both overall and in relation to par, behind only Anthony Delisanti from this year’s Dorado Beach Collegiate. This marked VanArragon’s 16th career top-2 finish, 24th career top-5 finish and 34th career top-5 finish.

Valpo will be back in action at this weekend’s Hoosier Collegiate in Bloomington, Ind. starting on Saturday. A link to live scoring via GolfStat will be available on ValpoAthletics.com.
