After two days and 54 holes of golf, the dust has settled at the Marquette Intercollegiate. Led by an outstanding 1-under-par tournament score from freshman Matt Murlick, the Golden Eagles finished sixth in the ten-team tournament field.
“I wish (our play) could have been a bit more steady,” head coach Steve Bailey said. “Overall, a really good field, and we beat some good teams. And a few of those teams above us, they’ll be pretty highly-ranked at the end of the year.”
Marquette hosted its annual home tournament at a new venue this year. For the last three years, the Golden Eagles have used Erin Hills for their showcase event but were forced to relocate due to scheduling of the 2017 US Open at the course.
