Men's golf opens season on the road

On Tuesday, ISU men's golf team finished in fourth place out of 10 teams in the Argonaut Invitational behind junior Ben Murphy. Murphy shot a final round of 73 to put him in a tie for ninth place overall after compiling a 71 in the first two rounds, totaling 215 in the invite. As a team, the 'Birds shot a three-round-total of 870, with first, second, and third round scores of 289, 285, and 296.

"Overall we can take so many positives from this event," Head Coach Ray Kralis said.

"The course showed some teeth today as wind and rain played more of a role, but our guys still came through with solid rounds and battled in a very competitive final pairing."

The Redbird's fourth place finish is much improved from earlier outings. In the beginning of the spring season, ISU fell to the University of Illinois in the Tinervin Cup, 8-1.
