Hoosiers finish 3rd in Big Tens

Already knowing it is going to participate in the NCAA Regionals later this month, the No. 10 IU men’s golf team entered the Big Ten Championship focused on capturing the title.

After an up-and-down weekend, the Hoosiers fell short, finishing third. Senior Jorge Campillo, one year after winning the individual Big Ten Championship, finished sixth.

IU started the tournament on a strong note Friday, tying for third with Minnesota after two rounds. Day two presented more challenges for the Hoosiers, and they slipped to seventh.

IU wrapped up the tournament with strong play from junior Alex Martin, whose team-best 71 pushed him to finish 10th individually. Joining Martin and Campillo in the top 25 was freshman David Erdy, who rebounded from a rough couple of rounds with a 72 to place 22nd.

Luckily for the Hoosiers, they still have a chance to end their season on a high note. IU will participate in NCAA tournament play for the second -straight year. The field will be announced Monday.
