Both the men’s and women’s golf teams hit the links this past weekend, each team earning impressive finishes at their respective events. The men competed in the Big Ten Match Play at the Hammock Beach Ocean Course in Palm Coast, Florida, on their way to a sixth place finish out of twelve teams. The women were competing at the Founders Club in Sarasota for the Heroes Ladies Intercollegiate, earning a fifth place finish among 15 teams.
On the men’s side, the first-seeded Wildcats faced conference foes Minnesota, Michigan State, Purdue and Penn State. Following an exhibition matchup with the Golden Gophers, the Wildcats tied the Spartans as Illinois transfer Varun Chopra picked up his first individual win for NU, defeating his opponent 4&3 (he led by four holes with three holes left).
