INDIANAPOLIS -- Freshman Joey Ranieri tied for fourth place to lead four Ball State men's golfers competing as individuals at this week's Butler Spring Invitational.
Ranieri backed up an opening-round 69, the best of his rookie campaign, with a 71 in Tuesday's final round at Highland Golf & Country Club. His even-par total of 140 put him just three shots behind tournament medalist Nick Bienz of IUPUI. The fourth-place finish was also a season best.
The tournament was originally scheduled for 54 holes but was shortened because of snow over the weekend. IUPUI won the team portion of the event; Ball State did not compete as a team.
