MADISON, Wis. – The South Dakota State men's golf team finished 16^th at the Badger Invitational on Tuesday.

RESULTS

"Disappointing finish," said head coach Casey VanDamme. "We need to learn how to play when we don't have our A-game. The ability to grind it out is what will decide if we have a successful team or not moving forward. I think we will figure it out and look forward to competing with each other at home!"

The Jackrabbits completed the 54-hole contest with a total score of 295-305-313—913 (+49) on the par-72, 7,294-yard University Ridge Golf Course. Notre Dame finished first (824, -22) and Kansas took second (856, -8).

Jack Tanner carded a third-round score of 78 (+6) and finished tied for 27^th overall, 70-70-78—218 (+2). Jones Comerford and Matthew Schaefer tied for 83^rd with a total score of 232 (+16). Schaefer had a team-best score in the final round of 77 (+5).

Jacob Otta finished the event with a score of 77-81-78—236 (+20), while Harry Duggan posted scores of 82-77-84—243 (+27).

Competing as an individual, Sam Batta recorded the best round of the day. The sophomore, who went even-par in the back nine, finished the final 18 holes one-under par. Over the course of the three day event, Batta posted scores of 82-79-73—234 (+18).
