PADUCAH, Ky. – The Illinois State men's golf team struggled at the start but closed well to give the team momentum heading into tomorrow's second round of the 2022 MVC Championship.
The Redbirds closed the opening day in seventh place with a first-round 313 (+25), despite two birdies in the final two holes for the squad. Southern Illinois leads the field after the first day with an opening-round 295, Drake (298) and Valparaiso (300) rounding out the top three in the field. Bradley, in fourth place, stands just six strokes ahead of ISU with a 307 while Missouri State (309) and Loyola (310) are both within striking distance of the Redbirds.
