BGSU wraps up its 2018-19 season in Aurora, Ohio
Aurora, Ohio – The BGSU Men's Golf team will conclude its 2018-19 season this weekend at the 2019 Mid-American Conference Championships. The three-round tournament, which is being hosted by Kent State University, is set to start Friday at 8:30 a.m. This year marks the first time in conference history that Club Walden has hosted the MAC Men's Golf Championship.
The Falcons wrapped up their regular season two weeks ago at the Shoal Creek Invitational. BGSU finished in 12th place in a loaded playing field that included the likes of SEC powers.
In seven of the ten tournaments the Falcons have played in, there has been at least one Falcon that has finished in the top 20. Rodrigue Vie posted the best score of any Falcon this year at the Ryman Hospitality Intercollegiate. Vie had a total score of -1 (69-72- 141), placing him T-3 overall. Collectively, BGSU finished eighth, which is their best finish of the spring season. In six of the ten tournaments BGSU has played in this year, it has finished eighth or better, including finishing runner up at the Earl Yestingmeier Match Play Tournament.
Some other standout individual performances included Rodrigue Vie winning the MAC Men's Golfer of the Week on Sept. 13. Vie shot -7 over three rounds at the Fuzzy Zoeller Invitational to finish fourth out of 75 golfers at the event. His 67-73-69-209 was the top BG result and he led the team to a third-place finish out of 13 teams, including defeating MAC-rival Toledo. Vie also finished T-3 at the Ryman Hospitality Intercollegiate, shooting -1 (69-72- 141). Vie won Jet's Athlete of the Week honors for the second time this season for his performance. Pablo Heredia Iglesias had two top ten finishes in the fall campaign, finishing T-4 at the Sam Hall Intercollegiate and T-10 at the Dayton Flyer Invitational.
