OZARK, Mo. – Bradley Men’s Golf finished the Fall portion of the season on a high note, finishing in second place at the Missouri State Intercollegiate.
The Braves finished with a team tournament score of 858, just one stroke behind team champions Lindenwood. The score ties the third-lowest 54-hole score in program history. The team fired 291 in the event’s opening round before carding an eight-under-par 276, tying the program record for the lowest 18-hole team score. Entering the final day trailing by two strokes, the Braves posted another round of 291, finishing in second after Lindenwood carded 292 in the third round.
