MADISON, Ill. – Freshman Joe Sykes carded a third-round four-under 67 to lead the Idaho Vandal men's golf team to a championship finish at the SIUE Dolenc Invitational Tuesday at the Gateway Golf Links across the Mississippi from downtown St. Louis.
Sykes, playing in his first collegiate tournament, tallied five birdies to just one bogey on the round. He jumped six spots from a tie for 10th to earn a fourth-place finish.
The Vandals had four players in the top 13 of the tournament field and edged out reigning Big Sky Champions Weber State by two strokes.
