COLUMBUS, Ohio - Sophomore Jack Crousore's final-round performance helped Minnesota earn its first tournament win of the season at the Robert Kepler Invitational on Sunday.

The Golden Gophers finished with a team score of 31-under-par (833), matching their score from the High Meadows Intercollegiate (Apr. 15-16, 2024) for the sixth-lowest, 54-hole score since 1994-95. This is the first tournament victory for the Maroon and Gold since the High Meadows Intercollegiate (Apr. 15-16, 2024).

The Maroon and Gold shot 13-under-par during Sunday's final round. Four players recorded final scores under par for the fourth time this season. Three Gophers finished inside the top five of the leaderboard, becoming the first trio to accomplish this since the Macdonald Cup (Sept. 28-29, 2019). 

Individually, Crousore and Gregoire Hoyeau of Abilene Christian carded the best 54-hole mark of 9-under-par (207) among the field.

Crousore becomes the second Gopher to earn a tournament victory this season, joining fellow sophomore Chun-Ta Wu from his performance at The Johnnie-O (Mar. 9-10). 

Notable Performances: 
Crousore's final score of 9-under-par (207) tied his career-best, 54-hole score from the Quail Valley Collegiate Invitational (Oct. 19-20, 2025). He picked up six-straight birdies in the final round on holes 11-16 to gather a round score of 5-under-par (67). Crousore's tournament title is his first in the Maroon and Gold.

Freshman Torger Ohe shot 7-under-par (209) to tie for a career-best, third place among the field. He tallied 18 birdies throughout 54 holes of golf, including five during the final round to help him shoot even (72). Ohe has finished under par for the third-consecutive tournament. 

Senior Cormac Sharpe matched Ohe's final score of 7-under-par (209) to earn a career-best finish of third place. He gathered six of his 16 birdies during the final round, recording a score of 4-under-par (68). 

Wu penciled a third-round score of 4-under-par (68), tying for 25th place. He collected an overall score of 2-under-par (214) with 10 birdies, finishing under par for the sixth-straight tournament. Wu picked up his second eagle of the tournament on the 10th hole during the final round, adding to his total of seven for the season. 

Freshman Joe Honsa recorded a score of 1-over-par (217), tallying seven birdies throughout the two-day tournament. He shot 2-over-par (74) during the final round with two birdies, tying for 38th place. 

Up Next:
The Gophers will travel to Bloomington, Ind., to participate in the Hoosier Collegiate on April 18-19, hosted by Indiana. The two-day event will be held at the Pfau Course.
