Carter Smith Earns Third Place Finish
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - The Ball State men's golf team wrapped up play Tuesday afternoon with a fourth-place finish after a three-round score +1 amongst a field of 12 at the Golfweek Collegiate Kickoff at Dalhousie Country Club. The 54-hole two-day event was hosted by the University of Missouri.
"It was good to get our first competition under our belt," Ball State head men's golf coach Mike Fleck said. "Finishing fourth in this field is a good start to the fall. I am proud of how our guys played through the unusually hot weather conditions. I am looking forward to returning to Muncie and hosting the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational at Delaware Country Club this weekend."
In total, the Cardinals had 46 birdies and one eagle. Carter Smith continued to lead Ball State with a third-place finish after shooting all three rounds under par -7 (69-69-71).
Smith wrapped up the Golfweek Collegiate Kickoff with 15 birdies and one eagle. The 15 birdies were tied for second best amongst all 72 participants. Griffin Hare was the second highest on the Cardinals' squad after shooting a -1 (74).
The Ball State men's golf team returns home this weekend for their annual Earl Yestingsmeir Invitational (Sept. 9-10) at the Delaware Country Club.
