The final-round score, was the best NJCAA Region IV Tournament round for the Madison College men’s golf team, though the team’s first two rounds practically eliminated them from competition.

Madison had a 347 and 345 in the opening rounds of the tournament, held at Prairie View Golf Course in Byron, Ill., October 4-6. But in the final round, the team shaved nearly 20 strokes from its first-round score, with a 328. The round score is two strokes shy of tying the team’s best score this season.

Austin Braska scored 85, 82 and 75 (242); which gave him the sixth overall individual score, 11 strokes behind the leader. The final round was his best score of the season, replacing the 77 which he accomplished four times this year.

Braska’s three-round total placed him on the NJCAA’s Region IV Region Team.

Luke Briesath was 10 strokes behind Braska, with a 252, followed by Clint Rogers with a 262. Brad Moldenhauer (266) and Aaron Olson (275) completed the WolfPack’s card.

The meet concluded the first season for coach Pat Gorman. Unfortunately for the WolfPack, it ended without an event win. Madison’s best finishes of the season, included a 12th in the 17-team Edgewood Fall Classic and a 10th in the 13-team Prairie View Classic.
