PHOENIX, Ariz. – The South Dakota State men's golf team finished in 10th place at the Loyola Intercollegiate Tuesday at Palm Valley Club.
The Jackrabbits posted a -5 final team score, finishing seven shots behind South Dakota, who finished seventh. Richmond went 34-under over three rounds to win the team title.
"I'm proud of the boys fight in our first event back," said head coach
Parker Edens. "I'd wished we finished a couple rounds stronger but we are rusty coming out of winter. These were our first three rounds since October and that was difficult but we were better in some areas than I expected. Willy had a great week, his first top 25 in college and to be straight out of winter is impressive. I'm excited for the rest of the season!"
Jacob Wilson had an excellent third-round finish for the Jacks, a 68 (-4) with five birdies over 18 holes. He finished tied for 25th place (-3), up 34 spots from his position after round two on Monday.
