Beavers set for second tournament of the fall

Following the first tournament of the fall in which three Beaver teams competed, the Bemidji State University Men’s Golf team will now prepare for the Maverick/Golden Bear Fall Brawl this coming Monday and Tuesday at the Troy Burne Golf Course.

The first Bemidji State team ended up placing third in the standings at the 72nd annual BSU Invitational with a 594. Logan Schoepp won the tournament with a 142 to finish even after rounds of 69-73. Three Beavers finished in the top seven and seven in the top 16. Caden Lick added a top five result tying for fifth with a 144. He finished strong on the final day with an even-par 71. Newcomer Rory Wutzke fit right in with the Beavers in his first tournament tying for seventh with a score of 145. He was consistent with rounds of 73-72. Koby Kuenzel placed 13th with a final score of 147. Brandon Bervig, in his first BSU tournament, tied for 14th with a 148. Teagan LaPlante and Charlie Williams, competing in their first collegiate tournaments, tied for 16th with scores of 149. Cullen Ryan, in his first collegiate tournament, posted a 151 to tie for 23rd. Newcomer Alex Tanner and Tanner Wanous tied for 27th with 152’s. Tate Usher was just a shot back with a 153, same for Ryan Engel in his first collegiate tournament coming in with a 154. Cody Card was a shot back of that with a 155. Jack Southard came away with a 156 and Saylor Kuenzel, in his first collegiate event, posted a 159.

Joining Bemidji State at the Maverick/Golden Bear Fall Brawl will include Concordia-St. Paul, Minnesota State, Upper Iowa, Winona State, UMary, Augustana, Minnesota Crookston, Minot State and Sioux Falls.

Last year at this time, Bemidji State traveled to Oklahoma to compete in the NSU Invite. BSU placed 12th out of 18 in a loaded regional field. Returners Schoepp, Lick and Usher all competed in that tournament. Schoepp posted a three-round total of 225, Lick at 228 and Usher at 230.

Following the trip to Wisconsin, Bemidji State will still have two more tournaments. They will travel to Lake City, Minn., to compete in the Watkins Invitational (Sept. 25-26) and then when October rolls around out to Missouri for the Holiday Inn Express MWSU Invite.
