The Northwestern men’s golf team placed second at the second GPAC men’s qualifier at the Fremont Golf Club in Fremont, Neb. on Monday, Sept. 29. After two qualifying rounds, the Raiders are now in fourth place in the conference on a 36 hole total of 608 (309/299).
“We would have liked to have a better start with our first round,” said sophomore Ryan Christy. “But we were very pleased with our second round at Midland. Breaking 300 on that course was an accomplishment for a young team.”
NW shot a 299, which was 7 points behind first place finisher Midland. Freshman Justin Kraft finished as the Raider’s top scorer with a one-over 72, which was a tie for third individually. Freshman Colton Kooima tied for fifth with a 74 (+3). Senior Jordy Reinders tied for 10th with a four-over 75. Sophomore Ryan Christy tied for 24th with a 78, and freshman Evan Schuler rounded out the NW scores with a 79 and tied for 29th.
“We are looking forward to making strides over the offseason in preparation for the spring,” Christy said. “We are looking to improve in our ability to turn the big numbers into only just bogies.”
The men’s golf team will return to action on Monday, Oct. 7 at the Briar Cliff Invite that begins at 10:30 a.m.
