CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- The Ball State men's golf team opened its season in style with a wire-to-wire win at the Golfweek Conference Challenge.
Joey Ranieri's nearly flawless performance led the Cardinals to a 15-shot victory in a 16-team field that featured seven top-100 squads from a year ago. The sophomore from Zionsville went bogey-free again in Tuesday's final round on the way to a 2-under-par 70. He made just one bogey over 54 holes in the finest performance of his young career.
Ranieri tied for second place among 93 golfers at 7 under par over three rounds on the Donald Ross Course at Cedar Rapids Country Club.
