MADISON, Wisc. – Playing in the top spot in the Ball State men's golf lineup all of last season, Carter Smith produced the Cardinals' top scorecard Tuesday during the final round of the Badger Invitational at the University of Wisconsin's University Ridge Golf Course. Smith (78-74-72--224), playing at No. 5 in the Ball State lineup after a qualification round earlier this week, finished at even par Tuesday, firing a 72 with as many birdies and bogeys as holes of par.
Completing perhaps his best round of the season in less-than-ideal conditions, Smith fought through a day in which high scores were the norm on the blustery, 7,286-yard track.
