Men's Golf Team Preps for Purdue Fall Invite
October 08, 2023 | Men's Golf
MUNCIE, Ind. – Playing the second out of three straight weeks of competition, the Ball State men's golf team prepares this week for the 54-hole Purdue Fall Invite beginning Monday, Oct. 9 at Ackerman-Allen Golf Course.
The par-71, 7,245-yard layout is situated on the Purdue campus, two hours west of Ball State.
The Cardinals enter the Purdue Fall Invite on the strength of a Badger Invitational performance last week in Madison, Wisconsin, which saw Kash Bellar finish in a tie for fourth place after flirting with the lead late in the final round. Bellar was named the Mid-American Conference Co-Golfer of the Week to mark the third straight week a Ball State golfer has earned the award.
Ball State's five-man lineup includes Bellar and Carter Smith, the MAC Golfer of the Week the previous two weeks. Braxton Kuntz was tied with Bellar in fourth place through two rounds last week in Wisconsin and Ali Khan shot a second-round, 4-under par 68 in Wisconsin to help Ball State boast the event's lowest team score of the day. Rounding out the field is Alec Cesare who finished in ninth place out of 26 golfers last week at the Badger Individual event in Wisconsin.
This week, senior Trey Wilson will compete as an individual at Purdue.
"We have another great opportunity with the Purdue Fall Invitational, it's a challenging Big Ten venue with a very competitive field," said Ball State coach Mike Fleck. "Ackerman-Allen is a place many of our guys are familiar with and I am expecting us to compete at a high level this week. Similar to Wisconsin, we will see several MAC schools and Big Ten programs. I'm looking for us to be more consistent with our team scores and create more momentum as a group as we move through the back end of our fall schedule."
Ball State has finished fourth, first and 11th in its three fall events thus far. Other participating teams in West Lafayette include Purdue, Illinois, UNLV, Nebraska, VCU, Butler, Central Arkansas, Western Kentucky, Miami (OH), Eastern Michigan, Dayton, Northern Illinois, Illinois State and DePaul.
