Meet Results

NORMAL, Ill. – A packed field of 26 teams headed to Normal, Ill. to participate in the Illinois Wesleyan Invitational and the Edgewood College men's golf team posted their best 18-hole score this season. The Eagles carded a team 306 on Saturday before posting a 340 on a wind-challenged Sunday as they finished 17th out of 26 teams.

Junior Kenny Rucker led the charge for Edgewood College as he turned in his lowest round of the season with a 73. Patrick Cahill, who competed in his first event of his Eagle career, was right behind Rucker with a 75. Sun Prairie native Tyler Cobb also was in the 70 club as he posted a 78. Patrick Bohrer and Michael Mathwick rounded out the top five with an 80 and 83, respectively.

Day two proved to be a bit more challenging with windy conditions, as no one was able to break 80 for the Eagles. Rucker followed up his 73 with a team-low 81 to tie for 15th place in a field of 132 golfers. Cahill finished tied for 41st with a two day total of 159. Bohrer added six strokes to his day one total as he finished 22-over par at the par 72 Ironwoods Golf Course. Cobb and Mathwick posted totals of 169 and 172, respectively, as all five Eagle golfers finished in the top three fourths of the field.

The Eagles will participate against familiar conference foes next weekend as they take part in the Marian University Invitational. The two-day tournament at Whispering Springs Golf Course will tee off at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, April 14.
