After a strong start Saturday, the Central College men’s golf team was unable to close out the Tim Kopka Memorial Tournament hosted by Carthage College in the same way, slipping into a tie for seventh.

The final round score of 318 gave Central a 620 total. Illinois Wesleyan University won the 20-team field at 581 on the par-71 Randall Oaks Golf Club.

In a tie for 19th, Spencer Welch was the top finisher for the Dutch. He shot Central’s best round on both days, 74-77—151.

Next weekend, Central is headed to the Division III Midwest Region Classic in Galena, Illinois at the Eagle Ridge Golf Club.
