Dutch Stumble on Day Two of Men’s Golf Meet at Carthage
Tougher pin placements and winder conditions hampered the Central College men’s golf team Tuesday in the final round of the Carthage (Wis.) Firebird Fall Invitational.
Central fell to eighth in the 17 team-field, recording a 300-319—619. The second day was much more difficult for the Dutch on the par-70 Hawks View Golf Course as they were 19 strokes off their round one score. After sharing the lead through 18 holes, freshman Maison Brandt struggled with an 82 on day two. He finished tied for 19th with a 70-82—162 total. Three other Dutch players tied for 36th, as Bautista Valeiras, Crew Klingner, and Kayden Pendergrass each recorded a two-day total of 156. Carter Yurgae rounded out the lineup in 53rd with a two-day total of 159.
The Central men’s golf team returns to Wisconsin September 15th and 16th for the Frank Wrigglesworth Invitational at Eau Claire Golf & Country Club in Altoona.
