Meet Results
MADISON, Wis. – Windy conditions and Trappers Turn's championship layout proved challenging for the Edgewood College men's golf team, but not as challenging as the field of teams. Among the region best programs at the Midwest Region Classic, the Eagles proved they belonged shooting 301 in the second round to finish fifth with a two-day total of 621.
Monday's first round was interrupted by on again, off again rain and blustery conditions, which forced some teams to finish their first 18 holes on Tuesday morning. The Eagles battled their way to a team score of 320, led by Michael Mathwick's 77. Mathwick then turned in a one-over-par 73 on Tuesday to place seventh in the enormous 140-player field. Kyle Bruce carded the Eagles best second round with an even par 72, which moved him all the way up to 16th place with a two-day total of 153.
Reigning NACC men's golf student-athlete of the week Zach Hentrich shot matching 79's over the two rounds for a score of 158 a finish in the top third of the field. Patrick Bohrer improved by six shots in the second round for a 77 which gave him a 36-hole total of 160, while Alex Wedige improved by a full seven shots on day two for a score of 171. Central College won the tournament with a two-day score of 584.
