Men's Golf Ninth In Season Opener; Boomsma Leads Cardinals
March 04, 2006 | Men's Golf
The Cardinals placed ninth out of 15 teams with a team score of 878. BSU posted a third-round score of 289 on Sunday.
"We had a good first weekend," said BSU head coach Mike Fleck. "To be playing our first competitive rounds outside, I thought it was a good tournament. We obviously want to lower scores and finish higher, but no one played themselves out of it. We'll use the practice time to improve and prepare for the next tournament."
Lamar won the title with a 31-under par score of 833. Xavier, the host school, came from behind to finish second, while Eastern Michigan was third.
Senior Brandon Boomsma was BSU's top finisher with a final-round 68 to tie for 23rd. Patrick Wilkes-Krier and Wayne Denger tied for 38th with a total of 222.
