BIG TEN MATCH PLAY RECAP
At the Big Ten Match Play Championship in Florida, Indiana opened against No. 20 Penn State and pulled out a 3.5-2.5 win over the Nittany Lions. Later that same day, they took on Minnesota and suffered a 4-2 loss but three of the matches went to the 18th hole.
In the final round robin match, against Rutgers, Indiana was on the good side of a 4-2 outcome and narrowly missed advancing to the championship match. In the third place match, the Hoosiers took on in-state rival Purdue, who was ranked No. 14 in the country. The final score saw Purdue come away with a 5-1 win, but there were numerous chances for the Hoosiers to close the gap throughout the match.
Over the four matches, Brendon Doyle led IU with a 3-1 record while Andrew Havill was just behind him a 2-1-1. In all, each of the six players the competed for Indiana earned at least one win.
BROWN BRINGS IT
Redshirt freshman Jake Brown wasted little time etching his name into the IU record book when he posted a 5-under par score of 66 in his final round at the Windon Memorial.
His final round score of 5-under par 66 marked the best round by a Hoosier since David Mills carded a 66 in his second round at the NYX Hoosier Invitational on April 6, 2013. It is also the best score by an IU freshman since David Erdy registered a 65 on March 22, 2009 at the Collegiate Match Play qualifier in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif.
VEA'S 68 AT WINDON
Junior Keegan Vea set a career best in the final round of the Windon Memorial earlier this season, when he carded a 68 to help the Hoosiers to a seventh place finish as a team. At the Quail Valley Collegiate, Vea opened with a 76 but improved his score each round, including a 2-under par 70 in the final round to tie for 34th. He followed that up with rounds of 74-71-75 at the Ka'anapali Collegiate Classic, which put him in a tie for 36th.
DOYLE BRINGS CONSISTENCY
Sophomore Brendon Doyle has been the Hoosiers' most consistent performer through the first five stroke play tournaments of the season. His scoring average of 75.33 is third-best on the team while he has posted scores of 75 or better in nine rounds this year, which is one off the team lead.
HAVILL HAS IT IN FINAL ROUND
Indiana junior Andrew Havill did not get off to the start he had hoped for in the first tournament of the year at Rich Harvest Farms, posting a score of 81 in round one. But he reversed that trend over the next two rounds, recording rounds of 75 and 71, respectively.
The his final round score of 71 was his best single round score since February of his freshman year when he posted a 68 at the Snowman Getaway in Arizona. It was also the best round of any IU golfer at the tournament.
Another strong final round for Havill came in round three of the Crooked Stick Intercollegiate, where he carded a score of 77 when the average score for the round was 79.6, as the wind picked up during the day and made scoring difficult.
