Aces travel to Flossmoor, Illinois

Less than a week after the University of Evansville women’s golf team earned its first-ever Missouri Valley Conference Championship, the Purple Aces men take their turn on Monday and Tuesday in Flossmoor, Illinois.

 

Flossmoor Country Club, which is located just outside of Chicago, will play host to the tournament.  On Monday, play opens at 9 a.m. with the opening two rounds before Tuesday’s final round gets started at 8:30 a.m.  Live scoring will be available on Golfstat.com.

 

In their last action, the Aces tied for 7th place at the Big Blue Intercollegiate, which was hosted by Tennessee State University.  Played in Old Hickory, Tenn., the Aces were led by Isaac Rohleder.  In the final round, Rohleder carded a career-low 69 (two under par) to clinch a tie for 10th place with a score of 214.

 

Carson Parker was second on the team while tying for 15th place overall.  He opened the tournament with a pair of even 71’s before registering a 75 in round three.  Just one behind him was Spencer Wagner.  The senior opened strong with a 1-under 70 before adding tallies of 75 and 73 to score a 218.
