'Shepherd'-ing The Hoosiers
Sophomore Ethan Shepherd leads the Hoosiers with a 72.33 scoring average through the first three tournaments of the season. It is 3.5 strokes better than his freshman season scoring average. He also has a pair of Top 25 finishes this season while he had two such finishes in eight tournaments as a freshman. The Greenwood, Ind., native also has the lowest round to par this year for IU, carding a 67 (-5) at the Fuzzy Zoeller Invitational to start the year.
Top 25 Machine
Junior Brock Ochsenreiter enters the Maridoe Intercollegiate having finished inside the Top 25 in six of his last seven tournaments dating back to the 2017-18 season. He has also had seven straight rounds of 74 or better this season.
IU Connection To Maridoe Golf Club
The architect of the Maridoe Golf Club is Steve Smyers, who is also the architect for the IU Championship Golf Course that is under renovation.
Top Returners
On paper, the two top returners are redshirt senior Jake Brown and junior Brock Ochsenreiter. Brown is coming off an individual appearance in the NCAA Bryan Regional, where he finished T14 at 1-under par. Ochsenreiter narrowly missed an individual bid to the NCAA postseason and comes in at the top spot in the lineup to start the year after winning the 6-round qualifier the team had leading up to the start of the year.
Newcomers
The Hoosiers welcome a pair of freshmen to the fold this season, and both will be making their collegiate debuts as individuals at the Fuzzy Zoeller Invitational. Mitch Davis (Valparaiso, Ind.) is a heralded recruit from the state of Indiana that has had a decorated junior career in the state and on the national stage. Harry Reynolds (Greenville, S.C.) won multiple times in South Carolina on the junior circuit and helped his high school team to their fifth straight team championship.
Tournament #1 Recap – Fuzzy Zoeller Invitational
The Indiana Hoosiers opened the 2018-19 season with a solid second place showing at the inaugural Fuzzy Zoeller Invitational, posting a team score of 846 (282-284-280; -18). It is the best team score since 2016 and the Hoosiers were led by Ethan Shepherd and his score of 210 (70-73-67; -6) to tie for fifth, which was a career-best finish and was capped off with his career-best 18-hole score in the final round (67). Jack Sparrow (T7), Evan Gaesser (T10) and Jake Brown (T12) also finished inside the top 10. Mitch Davis, competing in his first collegiate tournament, tied for seventh at 5-under par.
Tournament #2 Recap – Olympia Fields Invitational
