Gorlok Invitational
Beavers struggle First day, but find groove on the Second day.
On Monday April 11th, the Beavers were unable to find their rhythm on the golf course as the conditions caused the course to be standing water in fairways and casual water in low areas of the famed Aberdeen Golf Course in Eureka, MO. Leading the Beavers, on Monday was senior Tyler Solie, as he was able to card the low round of the day for the Beavers with a 82.
On Tuesday, April 12th the Beavers found their tee times pushed back as the morning frost prevented play until 8:30 am. The course played to the several Beavers favor on Tuesday as they were able to card a better score than the previous day. Sophomore Jordan McMillen who carded an 82 on the morning. Also, scoring a lower score than the previous day was freshman, Anthony Harper, who shot two off of McMillen with an 83. However leading the Beavers for the two day tournament was senior Tyler Solie as he shot a two day score of 167. With the conference tournament coming up next week at the same location (Aberdeen Golf Course) Coach Malin said "I feel like on Monday we struggled as a team to find our rhythm on this tricky course, however on Tuesday we played much better and I have confidence in these guys next week to go out a post some good golf scores."
The Beavers will be in action next week at the SLIAC Conference Tournament at Aberdeen Golf Course in Eureka, Missouri. The tee times are set to be released later this week.
