The Valparaiso University men’s golf team sits in fifth place at 733 (six-count-five) in a 13-team field at Ball State’s Earl Yestingsmeier Memorial Invitational after the opening day of competition on Friday. Through two rounds, the Crusaders are ahead of three Horizon League foes in the team standings.
How It Happened
Inside the Rounds
Thoughts from Head Coach Dave Gring
“Our birdie production improved in the second round versus the first round. Ball-striking was pretty good today and we seemed to drive the ball well off the tee. If we can hit some more greens in regulation tomorrow and narrow that proximity to the hole, our scoring will be even better in the third round."
"We needed to improve our scores in the second round and we accomplished that task, but we still left too many shots on the course. I'm encouraged that our scoring continues to improve this spring, but we need to avoid the double and triple bogeys by each player and our scoring will get better."
"I would like to see a few scores under par tomorrow. It was good to see Pete in the red numbers and Michael, Matt and Mitch all played well enough today to close with some good rounds tomorrow. We are looking forward to the opportunity."
Up Next
The Crusaders will continue the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational hosted by Ball State at Delaware CC with the final round on Saturday. A link to live scoring can be found on ValpoAthletics.com.
