MSUB Golfers Close Season with Second Place Finish (Apr. 26, 2004)

GREELEY, CO – The Montana State-Billings men’s golf team shot its best two rounds of the season on Monday to take second place at the Northern Colorado Invitational.  The Yellowjackets and host Northern Colorado each shot 299 in the first round, but Bears’ second round 293 was enough to edge the Jackets by three strokes.  The tournament was originally scheduled for three rounds with the final round on Tuesday, but was shortened to a one-day tournament last week.

The Yellowjackets Chris Haas and Chris McConnell tied for fifth in the individual standings at 5-over 147.  They had identical rounds of 74 and 73.  Andy Eames missed a top ten finish by one stroke, tying for eleventh with a 9-over 151 on the 6,723-yard, par-71 Highland Hills Golf Club.  Northern Colorado’s Mike Martin captured individual honors with a 1-under 141. 

“I’m really pleased with how the guys finished,” said Yellowjacket head coach Roger Burckley.  “We were tied for the lead after the first round and shot our best round of the year in the second round.  It was the first time this year that we’ve been below 300 in both rounds of a tournament.”
