WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Southern Illinois Men's Golf completed the Purdue Fall Invitational Monday, tying for 10th with a score of 882 (+18), 32 strokes behind tournament champion Indiana.
"We came to compete, but we could not quite put it all together this week", Coach Justin Fetcho said. "We have to improve our discipline and mindset, we will learn from it and get better"
Leon Heitz was the Salukis' top performer, tying for 18th with a score of 217 (+1). After a slow start, he fought back with a round two score of 70 (-2) and a round three score of 72 (E). Frank Bellino was right behind tying for 22nd with a score of 218 (+2). He shot 71 (-1) and 70 (-2) in rounds two and three.
"Leon and Frank had had solid outings", Fetcho said. "After starting slow, both men were able to come back and finish the event strong"
Coach Fetcho continued his praise for his top performers over the weekend
"Leon was able to change his mindset and play a lot of solid golf", Fetcho said, "Frank recorded his second consecutive top-25 finish to start the year, this will improve his confidence in his game moving forward"
Here's how the rest of the Salukis finished at the Purdue Fall Invitational:
Oliver Ulrich and Lucas Lasley were the two individual golfers sent to West Lafayette. They competed on a course separate from team play. Ulrich tied for sixth with a score of 215 (+2). Lasley tied for 11th with a score of 217 (+4).
