Related Topics: River Brue

CHESTERTON, Ind. -- Senior Ethan Brue opened his final collegiate season just like he did his Bradley career last fall by claiming medalist honors at the Crusader Collegiate and helping the Bradley men's golf team open its 2017-18 season with a second-place finish.

Brue won last year's Crusader Collegiate individual title by one stroke at two-under 214, but had a larger margin for error this season as he edged Loyola's Orion Yamat by two shots for the top individual spot in the 2017 field. After rounds of 74 and one-under 71 at the par-72 Sand Creek Country Club Tuesday, Brue held off a hard-charging Yamat with a two-over 74.
