“Sometimes in this crazy game of golf, you just have off days and tournaments.” Those were the words of Peru State College (PSC) Bobcat golf coach Brett Hahn when referring to the outcome of the Nebraska Wesleyan Spring Invite.
The Bobcats were coming off a great start with a dual win over the College of St. Mary on the Friday previous, but the “crazy” things started happening at the tournament as the team's captain, Jordan Schaardt (Humboldt) came down with the stomach flu before the start of play. Despite this, Schaardt played the first 15 holes before succumbing to the virus and exhaustion. Hahn noted he was extremely proud of Schaardt's heart and desire to try to play through the illness.
The first day of the two-day invite was held at the Mahoney Golf Course and the second day at the Holmes Golf Course.
The Bobcats finished in 11th overall out of 12 teams and most likely would have been as high as sixth had Schaardt been able to play. Dakota Wesleyan University (DWU), the 24th-ranked team in the NAIA, won the invite with a team total of 657. Following DWU was Morningside College – 667, Bellevue University – 678, Iowa Western CC – 686, Nebraska Wesleyan University – 741, Doane College – 742, Hastings College – 746, Concordia University (Neb.) – 754, Briar Cliff University – 762, Midland University -771, Peru State – 779, and College of St. Mary – 802.
Courtney Musgrave (Omaha) finished as the team's top golfer having rounds of 85 and 96 for a 181 total – good for 25th overall. Other Bobcat golfers with their scores and placing were: Katie Potter (Omaha) - 92 and 94 for a 186 total – tied for 31st; Ellen Larsen (Lincoln) 93 and 97 for a 190 total – 38th; and Jacey Stoner (Alda) 112 and 110 for a 222 total – 63rd.
The Bobcats will next be competing in the Avila University Spring Invite on Monday and Tuesday, April 9 and 10, in Kansas City, Mo.
