GOODYEAR, Ariz. – The Northern Kentucky University men’s golf team played to a ninth-place finish at the Grand Canyon University Thunderbird Invitational this week. The Norse (294-283-286) carded a one-under-par 863 and were the last of nine teams to shoot under par on the tournament. Chico State (283-281-277—841) finished 23-under-par, winning the event in a tiebreaker with Cal State-San Bernadino (276-286-279—841). Individually, Kenny Pigman of CSUSB took the medal with an 11-under-par (65-70-70—205) performance. The Norse were led by Eric Fuldner (71-65-77—213) who shot the low round of 65 in Round 2 en route to a three-under-par, 18th place finish. Danny Lewis (75-71-70—216) shot even par to share 30th place. Jeremy Martin (73-73-73—219) shot a consistent three-over-par to finish tied in 39th position. Clint Kohls (76-76-69—221) carded five-over-par to take 48th place and lent his Round 3 score to the team total while Will Brown (75-74-74—223) shared 57th place to round out NKU’s performance in the event.
