This is the last tournament of the fall for the ISU men’s golf team. This is also the last time before winter that the team will be able to showcase its talent.

The golfers head into the Memphis Invitational in Memphis, Tenn., hoping to put together a complete team effort before breaking for the winter months.

The Cyclones have been improving steadily with each meet. After finishing 11th out of 13 at its first meet, the team finished ninth, second and seventh overall at its next three meets.

When it finished second at the D.A. Weibring Invitational, everything was pointing toward the fact that this could be a top-tier team, as three of the five golfers finished in the top 15.

Then the team finished seventh at the Firestone Invitational, with three of the five golfers finishing in the top 22. Once again though, consistency was lacking, which seems to be the fall’s theme.

Throughout the fall it seems to be repetitive; at every meet, another golfer has a great showing, while the rest struggle. Now the team is just hoping to put it all together at this last tournament.

“As our last tournament of the fall, I’m looking to see improvement from each of the five players,” said coach Andrew Tank.

Even with the lack of consistency being an obvious problem, the players don’t feel more pressured, but do know that the sense of urgency is there.

“I’m feeling good,” junior Nate McCoy said. “My mental preparation was good and I know my game plan is solid. I just have to tee it up and play.”

McCoy also went on to mention that the conditions are supposed to be hard, so it will be a grind.

The rough weather may be a good thing though, since the last time the conditions were rough, Borja Virto managed to tie for a fifth place finish, along with McCoy.

The team and coach Tank are hoping to just put it all together, and showcase what they really can do.

“Most of all, I’m looking for a good team effort with all five guys contributing,” Tank said. “Which is something we haven’t had so far this fall.”

The first round of the Memphis Invitational tees off Monday, with the second and final round on Tuesday.
