Cardinals Climb to Fifth-Place Finish at Craft Farms
March 30, 2021 | Men's Golf
GULF SHORES, Ala. -- Bolstered by CJ Jones' round of 71, the Ball State men's golf team moved up into a tie for fifth Tuesday to wrap up the Craft Farms Intercollegiate.
The Cardinals posted a second consecutive round of 292 to finish with a 54-hole total of 882 (+18) on the Cotton Creek course at Craft Farms. They tied Texas State and finished one shot behind Lipscomb for fourth.
Overnight leader Cincinnati (+1) held onto the lead, ending six shots clear of second-place South Alabama, the tournament's co-host.
Ball State also counted rounds of 73 from Sterling McIlravy and 74 from both Joey Ranieri and Tyler Green on the final day. Ranieri and Green matched each other for the third consecutive round, while all three players finished 54 holes tied for 22nd at 5 over par.
Jones was Ball State's top finisher in a tie for 15th at 3 over par after his 1-under round to close. He made five birdies on the final day.
Matthis Besard of Southern Illinois was the individual medalist at 4 under.
The Craft Farms marked the first of four straight weeks of competition for the Cardinals who will return to action Saturday at the Hoosier Invitational on Indiana's Pfau Course.
