MU Closes Fall at Price's Give 'Em Five Invite

Oct. 18, 2017

Marquette closes its five-event fall schedule beginning on Friday at the Price's Give 'Em Five Invitational, hosted by UTEP at Butterfield Trail G.C. in El Paso, Texas.

At the tail end of a historic fall season that includes a team event win at the Northern Intercollegiate and two individual medalists (Oliver Farrell - Northern Intercollegiate; Austin Kendziorski - Marquette Intercollegiate at Erin Hills), MU closes the fall at a venue it's been traditionally strong at.

The Golden Eagles have shot a combined 37-under-par over their last 108 holes at Butterfield Trail, finishing fourth (24-under-par) in 2015 and third (13-under-par) in 2016. Oliver Farrell shot an 8-under-par 208 in 2015 to finish seventh, while Ferdinand MÃƒÆ'Ã†'Â¼ller's 7-under-par 209 was tied for fifth in 2016.
