Marquette men’s golf returned to Riverton Pointe Golf and Country Club looking to defend its team and individual Big East Tournament title.
But the Golden Eagles, who were without reigning individual champion Bhoom Sima-Aree, could not be crowned with back-to-back titles, shooting 17-over-par to finish fourth.
A key player for Marquette, Sima-Aree’s injury kept him off the tee box for the spring season.
“After the fall season, [Sima-Aree] was arguably our best statistically, and when you lose a guy like that, it forces us to have to respond,” head coach Steve Bailey said.
