NEW PRAGUE, Minn. — The Gustavus men’s golf team sits tied for second after one round at the Bobby Krig Invite. With three teams in play, Gustavus A is tied for second with Saint John’s, with both teams just one stroke off leader UW-Eau Claire at 297 (+13). The Gusties B team posted a 309 (+25) for eighth, while the third Gustie team sits in 15th after carding a 321 (+37).
Teddy Kaste (So., Apple Valley) is leading the way for the Gusties and the tournament, shooting an even-par 71 after day one with three birdies and three bogies. Jack Reinardy (So., Andover) is tied for fifth, carding a 73, while Pelayo Perez (Fy., Sotogrande, Spain) is tied for 13th with a 75 to lead the Gustie B team. Chris Gutuza (Fy., Johannesburg, South Africa) has two birdies and seven bogies to tie for 19th with a 76 (+5).
“It was a tough grind out there today,” said Head Coach Scott Moe. “I was very proud of our guys for not making weather conditions an issue or excuse. It was really nice to see Teddy and JR play solid and sit near the top. It will be a fun battle tomorrow on our home golf course and I look for it to come down to the final couple of holes. Should be a fun way to end our home tournament.”
Round two continues Sunday in Le Sueur.
