DELRAY BEACH, FL – The University of Iowa men’s golf team finished the third and final round of the inaugural Spring Break Championship today. The Hawkeyes placed eighth after shooting an 884 (+32). Illinois led the 14-team field with a 54-hole total of 847 (-5).

The Hawkeyes were led by senior Cole Peevler, who finished in a tie for 14th with a score of 218 (+5). Sophomore Vince India and freshman Brad George both finished in 33rd place after carding a 222 (+9). India led the Hawkeyes today with a 72 (+1). Freshman Chris Brant shot a 226 (+13) and finished in a tie for 56th while sophomore Brad Hopfinger recorded a 228 (+15) and finished in a tie for 63rd.

“We had some guys come back and play really well today,” said Head Coach Mark Hankins. “Overall, we never put five good rounds together, and that’s what cost us.”

The Hawkeyes will see competition again at the Kepler Invitational in Columbus, OH on April 11-12.
