Anderson Secures 12th in Polar Beaver Invitational

The Anderson University men's golf team secured 12th place in the two-day Polar Beaver Invitational, which concluded on Saturday.

Luke LeBourdais tied for 31st with a 36-hole score of 154 and a personal-record (PR) relative-to-par score of +11. In Round 1, LeBourdais shot a round of 80 on the par-71 layout at Colonial Golfers Club in Harrod, Ohio. The sophomore from Saginaw, Mich. then carded a round of 74 on the par-72 layout at Hidden Creek Golf Club in Lima, Ohio.

COACH DIJON KNIGHT'S COMMENTS

The team put forth a valiant effort over the weekend. Despite the challenges, the guys displayed determination. We finished with our lowest team score so far this Spring. Our Round 2 score is the lowest score we've posted in our last 10 rounds dating back to the Fall at Delaware CC. Our approach shots and setup continues to improve. 81 pars and 12 birdies is also an improvement, but I know our guys feel they can cut even more strokes on the green. However, we are heading in the right direction. We are looking forward to having a competitive week in practice as we prepare to defend our home course during the Anderson University Invitational next week.
