Men’s golf looks to build late run

By Tom Burton

Men’s golf is preparing to tee off at the Seattle University Redhawk Invitational today and Tuesday.

The Huskies are looking to build on a record-breaking performance from last week at the Desert Shootout at Palm Valley Golf Club in Goodyear, Ariz. They broke the team’s previous record for 18-hole, 36-hole and 54-hole team scores. Junior Joo-Young Lee led the way with a -14, earning him co-medalist honors for the week.

“It really was a validation of their hard work and everything they’ve done,” said NIU head coach Tom Porten.

The invitational will take place at Chambers Bay in University Place, Wash., which was the site of the 2015 U.S. Open.
