EUREKA, MO - After a long opening day that saw multiple delays due to weather, the KWC Men's Golf team closed out the Midwest Regional at Fox Run strong, posting lower scores in every round (329-320-316) to finish with a team score of 965 (+101). 

Just like in their previous two tournaments, sophomore Tyler Nickol led the team. He was very consistent over the 54-hole tournament, posting scores of 79-79-76 to finish 43rd with a 234 (+18). Camden Robertson showed why he is quickly becoming one of Head Coach Ken Badylak's best golfers, using rounds of 78-80-79 to come in just three strokes behind Nickol and tie for 51st with a 237 (+21).

After not qualifying for the first tournament of the season, freshman Andreas Olsen has come alive in his past two tournaments. Olsen lowered his scores significantly each round (87-82-78) to finish third on the team and tied for 78th overall with a 247 (+31). Freshman Jonah Graham (88-79-83) finished tied for 84th with a 250 (+34) while fellow freshman Blake Kelly (85-86-86) tied for 93rd with a 257 (+41). 

McKendree took the team title, shooting an 893 (+29) to take the win in the 18-team field. McKendree's Phasin Vichitcharoenpaisarn took medalist honors with a one over par 217 (77-72-68).

The Panthers will be back on the course early next week when they head to McKendree for the Bearcat Dual Gender. The 54-hole tournament will take place on Monday, Oct. 18 - Tuesday, Oct. 19 and is set to be played at Far Oaks Golf Club in Lebanon, IL.
