McCook Community College won the tournament with a -7. McCook Community College scored a 275 through round one and 278 for round two for a total of 553. EWC finished second with a +18. The Lancers recorded a 283 in round one and a 295 in round two for a total of 578.

“We played well on Thursday,” EWC head golf coach Zach Smith said. “We definitely felt like we left some shots out there but overall, the first day was solid. We could have played much better on day two.

It was fairly cold and windy in the morning. The guys looked good early but let some get away later in the round.”

The Lancer’s George Cordall, Nottinghamshire, U.K. finished tied for third with McCook Community College’s Brayden Dahl with a -1. McCook Community College golfer Ethan Gough won the tournament with a -5, followed by teammate Cade Cryer with a -3.

“We had a strong Fall season, and we look forward to getting some classes caught up after a hectic fall travel schedule and continue to work on our game,” Smith said.
