NEBRASKA CITY, Neb. -
After the Fairway Club Invitational at the ArborLinks Golf Club was delayed from Monday night and the tournament was cut to two rounds, the Illinois State men's golf team finished in the fifth-place spot with a 14-over-par 590 (292-298).
"From a competitive standpoint, you obviously want to improve or at least maintain your position, and we were not able to do that," head coach Ray Kralis said. "But finishing inside the top five is a solid starting point, and while we can learn some things from our mistakes. We can also look to a number of positives from the tournament and build on those going into Louisville next week. Cullen stepped up both rounds, and everyone contributed to the team effort."
Will Cullen continued to lead the Redbirds through the second round, as he finished tied for 10th place after firing a 1-over-par 145 (72-73).
