Central takes own men’s golf title behind Briggs
Matt Briggs put together back-to-back competitive rounds and took medalist honors at the Central Fall Classic men’s golf tournament Tuesday while leading the Dutch to the team crown.

Central was an easy winner in the 13-team tourney with 311-316—627 with Coe College at 321-326—647, Central’s White team at 334-325-649 and Loras at 323-330—653.

The lone remaining tournament on the Dutch fall season schedule is the Grand View Invitational Oct. 18-19 at the Otter Creek Golf Course in Ankeny.
