ST. CLOUD, Minn. – The Gustavus men’s golf team took fourth place out of 10 teams Monday at the Saint John’s Spring Invitational. The Gusties finished with a 304-305-609, which was 14 strokes behind the winner, St. Thomas.
“The guys got off to a much better start than yesterday which was great to see,” Assistant Coach Randy Stuckey said. “We played well on the front side then ran into some very tough winds on the back side. Today the guys had passion and showed a little emotion about their game. Looking forward to taking the enthusiasm to next week to finish out the season.”
Ben Hauge (So., Ramsey, Minn.) tied for eighth place to lead the Gusties, carding a 74-77-151. Joe Foley (So., East Gull Lake, Minn.) improved his second round score by four stokes to finish 78-74-152 to tie for 11th. Chris Captain (Sr., Rochester, Minn.) posted a 76-77-153 to tie for 16th. Alec Aunan (Sr., Rock Island, Ill.) was consistent in both rounds at 77-77-154 to tie for 19th, while Max Ullan (Fy., Blaine, Minn.) scored a 77-80-157 to tie for 26th.

On Friday the Gusties host Bethel, Carleton, St. Olaf, and St. Thomas at the Le Sueur Country Club, and on Saturday they host Carleton, Concordia, St. Olaf, St. Thomas II, and UW-Eau Claire at the New Prague Golf Club.
