From fantasy football to touring Winnipeg and, most important, playing in this week's Manitoba Open as part of PGA Tour Americas, the Ball State men's golf program is well represented.
Winnipeg native Braxton Kuntz is playing in the PGA event for the third straight year, following four consecutive titles in the Manitoba Amateur, in which the winner receives an invitation to the PGA event. Joining him this year is Cardinals' golfing alum Joey Ranieri who earned full status on the professional tour in May.
Kuntz and Ranieri met for the first time last January, while coach Mike Fleck and the Cardinals hosted a match-play tournament event in South Florida.
