INDIANAPOLIS – Charlie Kulwin led the Ramblers at the Don Benbow Butler Invitational, tying for second on the player leaderboards. He helped Loyola Chicago men's golf place third as a team.
 
The Ramblers finished with a three-round score of 852 (278-290-284). They were +12 behind a Butler squad who took first at 11-under-par.
 
"We're close. I feel our best golf is right around the corner," said head coach Erik Hoops. "We cleaned up some stuff from Arizona last week. Now, it's just cleaning up some of the stuff around the green, and I think we will be ready for A-10s. We barely made any big numbers this week, and we made a decent number of birdies. It's just getting our short games back in order to save more pars. We will get that squared away."
 
Kulwin was just one stroke shy of first, snagging a second-place finish. He scored 207 (67-69-71). His first two rounds were under-par, leading to a -3 score on the week. His first-round score of 67 marks a new personal-best score.
 
The Chicago native led the invite with 13 birdies.
 
"Charlie is on a great run this spring. Putting together a great case to be all-A10," finished Hoops.
 
Ryan Walsh and Sebastian Kasun came in tied for 27^th by both scoring 215. Walsh shot 72-73-70. The final round falling on-par. Kasun finished 71-72-72. Kasun tallied six birdies.
 
Zach Mulhearn scored 218 (70-77-71) to tie for 45^th, while Connor Woodin wrapped up the team play at 220 (70-76-74), tying 60^th. Woodin had the second most the birdies on the team with seven, Mulhearn had six.
 
Playing as an individual, Alex Rasmussen scored 227 (78-73-76) for 82^nd place. It marked the freshman's second appearance this season.
 
Loyola will prep for one more regular season contest at the Wright State Invite in Springboro, Ohio on April 13-14 before hearing up for the A-10 championships.
