MUNCIE, Ind. - - The Ball State golf programs closed play in the Golfweek Put Me In Coach Invitational at the Delaware Country Club Tuesday, with all six individual competitors earning top seven finishes on their respective leaderboards.
On the women's side sophomore Skylar Dean ended the 54-hole event just like she started Monday, posting her third eagle of the season. This one came on the par 5, 437-yard 18th and helped her turn in the team's lowest round of the day at +1 (73).
After a tough start to her final round on the women's par 72, 6,030-yard course layout Tuesday, Dean caught fire on her final trip into the clubhouse, finishing birdie, birdie, eagle. Dean was the only women's golfer in the field of 14 to write down multiple eagles in the event and finished fourth overall at +5 (221).
Senior Jenna Estravillo finished two strokes behind her teammate, at +7 (223), as she birdied two of her final five holes, including the 18th. Estravillo's two birdies in the final nine holes led to a final round of +3 (75) and nine total birdies, tied for the most birdies by a Ball State player.
Rounding out the day for Ball State was senior JJ Gregston at +11 (227). Gregston's +4 (76) final round was highlighted by three birdies of her own and helped her earn a seventh-place finish. Gregston birdied the par 5 first, the par-4 third, and the par-4 17th to tally nine total birdies, which tied for the team lead with Estravillo.
Overall, the threesome which played together for the final round, finished the day at +8 (224) to end the tournament at +23 (671) with 24 total birdies, the second-most by any team.
On the men's side, freshman Brayden Lamborne continued his solid play with a final round +3 (73), leading the Cardinals and finishing third overall at +6 (216). In addition to closing the tournament with a birdie on the par 4, 437-yard 18th, he added 13 more pars on the day. The effort helped him lead the field with 43 total pars and rank second in par 4 scoring average at 4.08 (+3).
Senior Aidan Gutierrez finished sixth overall, at +9 (219), across his three rounds. Gutierrez's +6 (76) round Tuesday featured his second eagle of the tournament to give him the only two eagles among the entire 13-player field.
The eagles seemed effortless for the big hitter, with today's coming on the par 5, 570-yard 15th, following yesterday's opening-rounder on the par 4, 264-yard third.
Sophomore Cameron Chattin brought home a seventh-place finish at +10 (220). Chattin battled through a gritty, up-and-down round to shoot +4 (74) highlighted by back-to-back birdies on the par 4 third and par 5 fourth to card a score of +1 (36) on the front nine.
Over the three rounds, Chattin was second among the field in par 5 average, at -2 (4.67), with three of his eight total birdies coming on par 5s.
Overall, all three Cardinals earned top seven spots while finishing the final round at a combined +14 (224). The effort helped the trio finish the event at +25 (655) as a group on the par 70, 6,438-yard course layout.
Both the men's and women's teams will be back in action next week. The men's squad will be first, as it heads to West Lafayette, Indiana, for the Purdue Fall Invitational at the Kampen-Cosler Golf Course Oct. 12-13.
The women's team travels to Arkansas over the weekend to compete in the Diamante Intercollegiate at Diamante Country Club Oct. 18-20.
