CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (9/18/18) – Led by individual champion Julien Sale, the Arkansas State men’s golf team claimed the Golfweek Conference Challenge championship Tuesday after the three-day tournament’s final round was canceled due to heavy rainfall at the Cedar Rapids Country Club.
With a strong performance each of the first two rounds by an A-State squad that shot a combined 23-under-par 553, the Red Wolves built a 12-stroke lead over runner-up Iowa entering today’s scheduled play. Not only did A-State finish ahead of the host Hawkeyes, they also placed ahead of preseason No. 21 UCLA and four other teams that completed last season ranked among the top 100 programs in the nation.
