4/28/2024 7:21:00 PM | Men's Golf
MINNEAPOLIS - The University of Minnesota Men's golf team finished its final round of the Big Ten Championships Sunday at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio.Â
Battling windy conditions throughout the tournament, the Gophers (293-316-304–913) finished with a team score of 73-over par and in 13th place.Â
Northwestern (280-294-289–863) nabbed the conference title with a score of 23-over par. The Wildcats' own Daniel Svärd garnered medalist honors at 1-over par for the tournament.Â
Since 2009, Minnesota (2014) and Northwestern (2024) are the only two teams other than Illinois to win the conference championship.Â
Notable:
Leading the Gophers through the tournament, senior Ben Warian (69-79-75–223) ended in a tie for 16th, his 11th top-20 finish this season. The Gophers' senior finished the tournament with a score of 13-over par.Â
Graduate senior Jacob Pedersen (75-77-77–229) ended up 19-over par, and tied for 39th, while junior Bennett Swavely (75-80-75–230) finished one shot back of Pedersen and in a tie for 47th. Swavely was just one of seven players in the field to record an eagle, doing so in round one on the par-5 12th hole.Â
After filling in for graduate senior Brock Winter, sophomore Jack Wetzel finished his 36 holes at 23-over par.Â
Sophomore Cormac Sharpe (78-80-77–235) finished the tournament with a score of 25-over par, tied for 60th.Â
Up Next:Â
The Gophers will wait to see if any individuals will be selected for the NCAA Regionals. The NCAA Men's Golf Regional selection show will be televised on Golf Channel on Wednesday May 1, beginning at 1 p.m. CT.Â
