Lake Geneva, Wis. (Oct 5) – The North Central Men's Golf team placed 11^th in a field of 22 in The Grand Intercollegiate hosted by University of Wisconsin-Stout.

Lundaa Hayanhirvaa led the Cardinals in the event shooting a 148 (+6), placing in tie for 24^th. Hayanhirvaa totaled six birdies in the tournament, including five on day one. His best round though, came on Monday when he shot one-over-par. Hayanhirvaa was one-under through the front nine and did not bogey until hole 13, a performance that drove him up nine spots on the leaderboard.

Jake Delaney was the second-best scorer in the tournament shooting a 149 (+7). Similarly to Hayanhirvaa, Delaney had a strong day two which propelled him up the leaderboard. Delaney birdied three times on the back nine of the Grand Geneva Resort, shooting even par on those nine holes and two-over for the day. His efforts placed him in a tie for 27^th in the event.

Alec Rogers recovered well on day two, shaving six strokes off his score on Sunday, thanks to an eagle on hole two, par five. Rogers' eagle on Monday was the second of his season and he is the only Cardinal to do so twice this season. Along with a birdie on hole 15, Rogers was four-over on the second day of the event. All told, Rogers shot a 155 (+14) on the weekend, tying for 58^th.

Joe Luchtenburg shot a 159 (+18) in the tournament, tying for 77^th. Luchtenburg shot three birdies on the weekend. Rylan Lother shot a 160 (+19), tying for 84^th. Jimmy Snyder, who competed as an independent, shot 157 (+16). Snyder golfed an incredibly strong front nine on day one, shooting two-under.

As a team, the Cardinals shot eight-under-par on the hole two, par five. It is their strongest performance on a single hole this season with everyone contributing a birdie or better on that hole.

The North Central Men's Golf team's fall season has concluded and they will resume action in the spring.
