COACH'S COMMENT: "We had some good moments today," Calvin men's golf coach
Brian Bolt said. "
Gannon McDonough led us with a solid 73. We were within a few strokes of the lead at the turn, but things did not bounce our way on the back nine and we were not able to recover. We are looking ahead to improving our standing during the final 36 holes next weekend."
NEXT UP: Calvin men's golf will return to action Tuesday, April 18, when it plays in the AC Eddy Invitational at Zollner Golf Course hosted by Trine University.
