Cyclone golf finishes 11th at the Wolf Run Invitational
September 12, 2010
The ISU men’s golf team finished the
Wolf Run Invitational 11th out of the 15 teams this weekend. Iowa
State totaled an 897 for the weekend, playing 36 holes Saturday and
18 Sunday.
Leading the team for Iowa State was
Jacob Aaholm, who tied for ninth overall. Aaholm finished the
weekend with a 218, with rounds of 73, 73 and 71. Receiving
medalist honors for winning the event was Central Florida’s Connor
Arendell, who shot a 208 to take the victory. Also finishing well
were Tom Lathrop and Nathan Leary, firing a score total of 228,
which left them tied for 47th.
Leary started the weekend off strong,
carding a 69-74 which earned him a tie for second. Then, after the
last 18 on Sunday, Leary limped into the clubhouse with an 85,
dropping him into the tie for 47th.
“All five of our guys showed some good
signs, but struggled to put it together for 54 holes,” coach Andrew
Tank said in an e-mail. “Jacob played solid on a difficult golf
course.”
Tank went on to say that the Wolf Run
golf course is a challenging one and seemed to expose some of the
weaknesses of the players. He also mentioned that the team still
needs to keep working on how it approaches every shot.
Next on the schedule for the Cyclones
is the VCU Shootout, which is on Sept. 27-28.
