LEXINGTON, Ky.—The UIndy men's golf team split its forces this week, competing at both the Findlay and Butler Spring Invitationals, both held Monday and Tuesday. The "Crimson Team" placed fourth among 19 Midwest Region teams, while the "Grey Team" settled at 12th place among a mostly-DI field.
Findlay's tournament was held at The University Club of Kentucky in Lexington, Ky., while the Butler event was hosted at nearby Highland Golf and Country Club on Indy's north side.
FINDLAY SPRING INVITATIONAL
The Hounds' top five plus one individual took on the region's best at Findlay's annual spring tournament. UIndy (296-282-287=865) found itself in 11th after 18 holes, but the Greyhounds finished the tourney with a pair of under-par team scores to climb to fourth place.
Reigning national-champion
Keegan Bronnenberg led the way with remarkably-consistent scores of 70-70-70 to finish at -6 and share third place. He carded an eagle on hole No. 7 in the first round and racked up six birdies in the third round before finishing four shots back of medalist Joel Sylven of Missouri-St. Louis.
The Greyhounds' second-round team score as boosted by a pair of three-under 69s – one from
Cam Carroll (T36) and one from
Jacob Nickell (T53).
