LEWISTON, ILL. (Oct. 1, 2018) – The Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) men's golf team was hoping for a similar result as last year's Flyer Intercollegiate Invite, when the Saints captured the title. However, after the first day, the Saints are in a tie for 13th place out of 18 teams. The tournament is sponsored by Lewis University.
Head Coach Alan E. Baxter commented, "It was brutal today. After a decent tournament in Victoria last week, we came to Illinois to defend our title at Cog Hill, and we just did not get it going. This was a very disappointing day. We did not play anywhere near how we should. We are going to meet and regroup and see if we can have a positive experience – better outcome tomorrow. I know everyone is not happy at all. We will try very hard to show what we are capable of on the final 18 tomorrow.
"Perhaps this was a very hard lesson we had to learn to work even harder to reach our goals.
"We have a solid team, but we need to learn that even on off days, you have to steady the ship."
