Live Scoring

MILWAUKEE – The Marquette University men's golf team closes its regular season on April 18-19 in Villanova, Pennsylvania, for the Wildcat Spring Invitational at Radnor Valley Country Club.

THE EVENT
Marquette is in a 15-team field alongside Binghamton, Bucknell, Colgate, Delaware, Lafayette, La Salle, Lehigh, Long Island, Rhode Island, Rider, St. Joe's, St. John's, William & Mary and tournament-host Villanova.

The first round is set to begin on April 18 at 7 a.m. Central time.

THE COURSE
Designed by Dick Wilson, the 18-hole, par-70 course plays at 6,572 yards and features Bent grass, considerable elevation changes, challenging greens and a variety of water hazards.

Radnor Valley offers an abundance of rolling terrain and part of the course sits in what was once the projected path of Interstate-476, which opened more than 20 years after the course's inception.

The back nine features a number of water hazards, and precision is vital, as each fairway is littered with vegetation along the edges. While the long ball is not always necessary, Radnor Valley does have six par-fours that span over 400 yards in length.

THE LINEUP
Nos. 1-5: Hunter Eichhorn, Tyler Leach, Max Lyons, Nicolás Evangelio, Josh Robinson
Individual: Bhoom Sima-Aree

Eichhorn, the reigning BIG EAST Conference Men's Golfer of the Week, paced MU at the Calusa Cup on April 3-5 with a 1-over 217 (71-76-70) to tie for ninth. The graduate student shot a 2-under 70 in the third round, posting five birdies. It was fifth top-10 finish of the season and 20th of his career.

Leach notched his first top-20 finish of the season with a 1-under 71 in the final round at Calusa Pines. He got off to a hot start, tallying birdies on the first three holes. He would go on to finish the Calusa Cup tied for 19th place at 6-over (74-77-71—222).

Evangelio shot 15-over (79-76-79—231) to finish tied for 37th, while Lyons and Robinson trailed close behind at 40th and tied for 44th, respectively.

UP NEXT
The Golden Eagles will travel to Pine Mountain, Georgia, on April 25-27 for the BIG EAST Championship at Callaway Resort's Mountain View Course.
