Redhawk Invitational Final Results

CHAMBERS BAY, Wash. - Sophomores Garret Buckley and Kenny Mleko each carded 77s today as the Loyola University Chicago men's golf team concluded play at the Redhawk Invitational presented by OGIO in Chambers Bay, Wash.

The Ramblers posted a 313 during final-round play, their lowest 18-hole score of the past two days, to finish with a three-round tally of 976 (327-336-313). Washington (301-305-291=897) held off TCU (209-314-285=908) to take home the team title, while the Huskies' Jonathan Sanders used an even-par round of 70 to claim medalist honors with a 220 (75-75-70).

"Really proud of the guys this week," Loyola Director of Golf Erik Hoops commented. "In all their lives they probably will never play a course in that tough of conditions again. They fought hard, never quit and, most importantly, we had a lot of fun. As always, we will build off the positives and hopefully fix some of the negatives to have a great weekend at Bradley!"

Buckley and Mleko led the way during the final round for the Maroon & Gold, each carding their low round of the event on the par 70, 7,198-yard course at the Chambers Bay Golf Club. Buckley's 77 saw the Novi, Mich. product move into a tie for 77th at 246 (87-82-77), while Mleko finished just a stroke off of his career low en route to finishing 90th with a 256 (90-89-77).

Freshman Orion Yamat capped off a successful two-day stay in the Pacific Northwest with his second consecutive round of 79 today. The Niles, Ill. native ended play with a 54-hole total of 235 (77-79-79), tied for 35th. Senior PJ Riner fired an 80, his top round of the event, to earn a share of 82nd at 249 (81-88-80), while freshman Ben Olson rounded out the Rambler lineup for the day with an 84 to finish in 89th with a 253 (82-87-84).

Loyola will return to action in just under a week when it travels to Peoria, Ill. for the Bradley Spring Invitational, April 10-11.
