Brown Has Strong Showing At Genesis Open Collegiate Showcase
Senior Jake Brown was one of 12 collegiate golfers to compete at the Genesis Open Collegiate Showcase at Riviera Country Club, an event held in conjunction with the PGA TOUR's Genesis Open. Brown finished the 18-hole round at 1-under par to tie for third place.
'Shepherd'-ing The Hoosiers
Sophomore Ethan Shepherd is second on the Hoosiers with a 72.1 scoring average through the first seven tournaments. It is more than three strokes better than his freshman season scoring average (75.83). He also has four Top 25 finishes this season while he had two such finishes in eight tournaments as a freshman. The Greenwood, Ind., native also has the two of the three lowest rounds to par this year for IU, carding a 67 (-5) at the Fuzzy Zoeller Invitational to start the year and a 66 (-6) at Chatham Hills.
Top 25 Machine
Junior Brock Ochsenreiter closed the fall with a second-place finish at the Steelwood Intercollegiate, which means he has finished inside the Top 25 in 9 of his last 11 tournaments dating back to the 2017-18 season.
What Can Brown Do?
After opening the year with a T12 finish at the Fuzzy Zoeller Invitational, senior Jake Brown posted finishes of T49 and T62. But he showed once again that he thrives on difficult courses at the Maridoe Intercollegiate, where he carded scores of 77 and 74 in the first two rounds but then rallied to post 69 in the final round and tie for 14th. He followed that up with a T6 finish at Chatham Hills. It was the 13th career Top 15 finish for Brown in 40 events.
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.
Davis opened his IU career with a stellar T7 finish at the Fuzzy Zoeller Invitational to start the year. He also has a T27 finish at Olympia Fields and a T33 finish at Chatham Hills on his ledger. In the spring, he logged a tie for 21st at Mission Inn.
Reynolds has a pair of Top 25 finishes in five starts, highlighted by a T18 finish at Chatham Hills.
