Final Results
MADISON, Wis. – Senior Tony Jiang (-3) and junior Christopher Gotterup (-1) both finished under par and within the Top 20 to help Rutgers men's golf finish seventh at the Badger Invitational on Tuesday in Madison, Wisconsin. The Scarlet Knights finished the three-day tournament with a two-over-par 866 (289-290-287), which included a one-under-par 287 during the final round.
"I'm proud of the way we finished today on the back nine with a four-under-par as a team with our counting scores," said head coach Rob Shutte. "We lost our opportunity to move higher up on the leaderboard when we played it four over when it was playing easy. We're excited to have 10 good days to practice and get down to Wake Forest where we played well last year."
Notre Dame finished first with a 22-under-par 842 (283-285-274), followed by Kansas (856: 286-282-288) and Mississippi (858: 291-289-278). Nevada's Sam Harned captured the individual title with a 12-under-par 204 (70-70-64).
Jiang was consistent throughout the tournament, as he finished tied for 13th with a three-under-par 213 (70-74-69). Jiang produced six birdies during the final round on Tuesday, which included four on the back nine. In total, Jiang collected 14 birdies during his three rounds to lead RU.
Gotterup also came in under par during the tournament, as he finished tied for 17th with a one-under-par 215 (73-69-73). Gotterup's best round came on Monday, when he collected seven birdies, the most for a Scarlet Knight in a single round during the invitational.
In their first collegiate tournament, rookies Brendan Hansen and Xavier Marcoux finished tied for 36th and tied for 47th, respectively. Hansen (220: 73-74-73) recorded three birdies in the final round, while Marcoux eight birdies and an eagle during his three rounds.
Junior Oliver Whatley (225: 77-76-72) rounded out the team scorecard tied for 62, while sophomore Shayler Dance (227: 72-76-79) tied for 70th competing as an individual.
