We are back in Edwardsville after finishing in 3rd place at the Branson Creek Invitational for our second straight top four finish. Neal McCarty took home the individual crown with rounds of 67-74-73 and finished 5 shots ahead of second place. It was an outstanding tournament for Neal and his 67 was the best round I have ever seen played in college golf. Monday's conditions were awful with temps at 45 degrees with wind blowing around 35mph and occasional rain. It was an unbelievable round. After that first round we were tied for 3rd place with a 305. We came back in the afternoon with another 305 and that left us in 4th place in the team competition. Tuesday's conditions were much better with more sun, higher temps and a little less wind. We played great as a team and our 294 was the second best round of the day and we moved up to 3rd place! The day belonged to Alex Knoll who shot the only other under par round of the tournament besides Neal's 67 by shooting 69 on Tuesday. He is playing with some great confidence right now and I know he is a big fan of next weeks course at Arkansas State so he will look to keep the momentum going. We have short week coming up as we leave again on Saturday for Jonesboro, AR to play in Arkansas State's tournament. We will get a couple days of good practice in and make sure our academics are in order and try to carry our momentum to next week.
