The ISU men golfers finished second on Saturday at the Big Four Match in Phoenix.

The Cyclones defeated the No. 3 seed Northern Iowa by a score of 5.5-0.5 in the first round before falling to Iowa 5-1 in the championship match.

Against the Panthers, all six players won or tied against their opponent. The lone tie, counting for half of a point, was sophomore and team No. 1 golfer Scott Fernandez.

The Hawkeyes took the Big Four title with five wins against the Cyclones. The only Cyclone golfer to take a victory was junior Zach Steffen.

The tournament does not count toward the Cyclones’ overall record, but coach Andrew Tank said it served as great practice for the rest of the season and will help determine lineups for the upcoming meet in Palm Springs, Calif.
