NORMAL, Ill. - The Calvin University men's golf team put together a strong performance on day one of the Illinois Wesleyan Invitational on Friday at Weibring Golf Club.
The Knights finished Friday's round with a team score of 300 total strokes, good for a tie for sixth place among the 37 teams in attendance.
The 300 strokes was also the lowest round of any of the teams that played at Weibring GC on Friday. The 37 teams were spread across two courses, with some playing with the Knights at Weibring GC, while others played at Ironwood Golf Club.
The top four Calvin players each scored in the 70s on Friday, led by
Tim Braun (Northville, Mich./Northville) with a round of 74.
Jack Marzolino (Bryron Center, Mich./Bryon Center) and
Gannon McDonough (Pentwater, Mich./Pentwater) each shot 75, while
Matt Turcotte (Grandville, Mich./Calvin Christian) finished with a round of 76.
Jackson Glanzer (Stevensville, Mich./Berrien Springs) shot 84 for fifth place among Calvin players.
Braun's 74 tied him for 18th place among the 212 players at the event. Marzolino and McDonough are tied for 34th, while Turcotte is tied for 53rd place.
COACH'S COMMENT: "Today was a step forward on our goals for the spring season," Calvin head men's golf coach
Brian Bolt said. "We competed really well, and it was nice to see our hard work show up in the scores. 300 was a very good team score, and it turned out to be the lowest posted score at Weibring today. Today's results put us in a good position to play Ironwood tomorrow to see if we can improve our overall finish.
"We also completed our rounds just in time to attend a Good Friday service as a team here in Bloomington. We are looking forward to competing against tomorrow."
NEXT UP: Calvin men's golf will return to action for day two at the Illinois Wesleyan Invitational tomorrow (Saturday, April 8) when it plays at Ironwood GC.
