MARSHALL, Mich. — The Britons had themselves a day on the links at the Medalist Golf Club, as first-year talent Charlie Dierkes finished tied atop the leaderboard to lead Albion to a fourth-place finish at the second MIAA Jamboree of the season on Thursday afternoon,.
Dierkes fired a 71 (-1) to become the first Albion golfer to medal at an MIAA Jamboree since Zach Benedict and Mark McLaughlin finished tied at the MIAA Jamboreee No. 7 during the 2009 campaign. With Dierkes leading the way, the Britons shot 308 as a team to finish just seven strokes from third-place Trine University. Dierkes was joined by Calvin’s Ford Erickson as the day’s medalists.
The par-72 course at the Medalist Golf Club played at 6,973 yards on a beautiful early fall day. Dierkes registered four-birdies en route to his Jamboree-leading score. Blake Wagner finished tied for 11th with a score of 75 (+3).
