SPRING, Texas— The Western Illinois men's golf team completed play at the 2018 Colin Montgomerie Houston Baptist University Huskies Intercollegiate. The Leathernecks came in 12th place after the three rounds of play after shooting 909 (+28) as a team.

"Drew Eaton had an outstanding first day of the tournament, and Jackson Wetherbee's hole-in-one were the big highlights of the tournament this week. " said head coach Mel Blasi. "It was a ball strikers course at Augusta Pines with very wet and soft conditions. We really struggled from tee to green this week and had trouble adjusting to the Bermuda greens. Despite the struggles, I am confident we will bounce back." 

Drew Eaton led the Leathernecks as he finished the tournament shooting a 218 (+2). His best round of the Intercollegiate came in round two, as he shot a 69. His second round effort was the lowest Leatherneck score in any round. He finished the tournament in 20th place.

"Drew is really playing with a lot of confidence right now," said Blasi. "He has worked really hard on his game and it's great to see him get rewarded for his effort." 

Trent Snodgrass also played his best golf in the second round, shooting a 75 (+2). He shot a 227 (+11) for the Intercollegiate. Jackson Wetherbee came in third for the Leathernecks, after he completed the tournament with a 229 (+13). After shooting a 77 in the first round, Wetherbee tallied 76 strokes in each of the last two rounds.
