BGSU Men’s Golf to Tee-Off at the Rutherford Intercollegiate This Weekend
April 17, 2015 | Men's Golf
Bowling Green, Ohio – The Falcons will tee-off in their second tournament in just seven days this weekend, as BGSU will take part in the 2015 Rutherford Intercollegiate hosted at the Penn State Blue Course in State College, Pennsylvania on April 18-19.
The two-day event will be played at the par 71, 7,202-yards renovated Blue Course, which hosted the Big Ten Men's Golf Championship in 2009 and has hosted numerous events conducted by the USGA, FCWT, AJGA, IJGT, PGA Junior Series and the West Penn Golf Association.
The 12 team field includes Penn State, George Washington, St. Joseph's, Georgetown, Eastern Michigan, Canisius, St. Bonaventure, Bowling Green, Rutgers, Binghamton, Youngstown State and Cleveland State.
Head Coach Kevin Farrell will send out the same lineup - Jose Narro, Brett Rinker, Joe Cooper, Ryan Triller and Cameron Michalak – that he did for the Greenbrier Collegiate Invitational earlier this week.
At the rain shortened Greenbrier Collegiate Invitational event on Monday, April 13, Narro posted back-to-back rounds of 73, +3, to end up in a tie for 26th-place overall with a 36-hole score of 146, +6. This season, Narro has carded seven sub-par rounds overall and has posted a team-low stroke average of 73.24 on the year. At last year's Rutherford Intercollegiate, the sophomore finished in a tie for 24th-place overall with rounds of 72, 73 and 76 for a final 54-hole score of 221, +8.
BGSU's Rinker led the Falcons at last year's Rutherford Intercollegiate event with a team-best ninth-place finish overall with a 54-hole score of 217, +4, with rounds of 77, 71 and 69. The Pennsylvania native is coming off rounds of 73, +3, and 74, +4, at the Greenbrier Collegiate Invitational in which he finished in a tie for 32nd-place overall with his 36-hole score of 147, +7. On the season, Rinker has recorded a stroke average of 74.07 overall, which is the second lowest season stroke average on the year.
Coming off a 12th-place finish at the rain shortened Greenbrier Collegiate Invitational to start the week, his best finish on the year, Cooper has played well as of late turning in rounds of 72, 76, 75, 75, 72 and 71 over his last six rounds of play. In fact, the senior has posted a stroke average of 73.90 over his 10 rounds of play during the spring season, including a low round 70 at the Barona Collegiate Cup in February. At the 2014 Rutherford Intercollegiate, the lefty ended in a tie for 24th-place overall with rounds of 73, 71 and 77 for a combined three-round score of 221, +8.
Matching both Narro and Cooper's 54-hole scores of 221, +8, and 24th-place finish at last year's event was Triller who turned in rounds of 75, 69 and 77 playing as an individual at the two-day tournament. The senior heads into play this weekend with a stroke average of 75.92 over 26 rounds of play on the season after carding rounds of 78, +8, and 79, +9, at the Greenbrier Collegiate Invitational on Monday, April 13.
Michalak will be playing in his first Rutherford Intercollegiate event this weekend after tallying scores of 76, +6, and 74, +4, at the Greenbrier Collegiate Invitational which placed the freshman in a tie for 46th-place overall with a 36-hole score of 150, +10. On the year, Michalak has recorded a stroke average of 76.58 on the year, his first as a Falcon.
As a team, the Falcons finished in seventh-place overall in the 2014 Rutherford Intercollegiate last spring out of the 14 team field. BGSU turned in rounds of 295, 288 and 301 to end the two-day event with a combined team score of 884, +32.
Tee times will begin at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 18, and at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, April 19, pending weather conditions.
Results and a daily recap will be available online at www.BGSUFalcons.com following each day of play.
