Thackerville, Okla. – The Centenary men's golf team will compete in the University of Dallas Crusader Invitational on Monday at Tuesday at the WinStar Golf Course.
The Gents will complete their fall schedule on Tuesday following an eighth-place finish in the Mary Hardin-Baylor Fall Invitational last month at the Sammons Park Golf Course in Temple, Texas.
Centenary shot a 21-over par 301 in the final round of the event, a seven-stroke improvement over the 28-over 308 shot in the season-opening round. The Gents finished with a 49-over par 609 for the tournament. Junior Richard Polan (Brno, Czech Republic) was the Gents' top finisher as he shot a final-round 3-over par 73 to tie for 16th place. Polan shot a 2-over 72 in the opening round. Polan has now earned a top-20 finish in seven-straight tournaments.
Senior Harrison John (Lafayette, La.) finished in a tie for 31st place after shooting an 8-over 78 in the final round after an opening-round 2-over par 72. Sophomore Ricky Blair (Bossier City, La.) shot a final-round 5-over 75 on preceded by a 7-over 77 to finish at 12-over par 152 and in a tie for 35th place.
Sophomore Drew Bennett (Bossier City, La.) and junior Devan Martin (Watson, La.) finished 58th and 59th as Bennett shaved 16 strokes off his first-round score of 91 to shoot a 5-over 75 in the final round and finish at 26-over par 166.
