Bona Golfers Complete Rain-Shortened CSU Invitational

BEACHWOOD, Ohio – After the opening two rounds of the John Telich, Sr. Cleveland State Invitational were rained out Monday, the St. Bonaventure golf team finished its lone 18 holes of the tournament on Tuesday in 13th place, led by a 3-over 74 from junior Brian McKenna.

IPFW won the 14-team invite with a total of 289, while the host Vikings of Cleveland State came in second with a 294. The Bonnies finished with a 309 total, three shots behind Wright State and one clear of Wofford.

McKenna has now finished as St. Bonaventure's low golfer in each of the past four tournaments as he fought through wet and soggy conditions at Canterbury Golf Club. Because of the heavy rains on Monday, players were allowed to mark their ball, pick it up and replace it within one club length on all lies save for bunkers.

With his T-15th finish, McKenna has now finished inside the top-15 in each of the last four tournaments.

Freshman Pierce Terrance finished three shots back of McKenna after shooting a 77, one shot shy of tying his best round of the fall season. Following Terrance, sophomore Scott Brady, junior Greg Horvath and senior Kevin Lewis each shot rounds of 79 to conclude the Bona scoring.

Andrew Bailey of Cleveland State shot a 68 to claim medalist honors by one shot over IPFW's Bruno Caravalho.

Only two of the 75 golfers played the 6,538-yard course under par, while 67 others shot over par. Every hole on the course played over par, with the exception of the par-5 9th (-0.01 relative to par) and the par-5 6th (-0.13 relative to par).

Following Midterm Break, the club will be back in action for its final test of the fall season Oct. 15 and 16 at the Seton Hall Lincoln Intercollegiate from Fiddler's Elbow Country Club in Bedminster, N.J.
