Senior Mike Jump also had a very respectable tournament as well shooting a two day total of 155 and rounds of 78-77. Rounding out the top five for Coe were Jayson Schmelzer 78-82, Brad Downen 76-85, and Chris Buhr 89-81.

“Overall our team continued to show improvements throughout the week,” said Senior captain Jayson Schmelzer. “It was a great tournament and week of practice to have as we prepare for the rest of our season.”

The Kohawks have the week off before traveling next weekend to Central College for a two day meet March 28-29, at Bos Landen Golf Resort. The meet is scheduled for a 10 a.m. shotgun start each day. Good luck to the Men's golf team with the rest of their season.
