Braves Open Spring With Third-Place Finish At Carlton Oaks

SANTEE, Calif. -- Freshman Drake Bushong (Pekin, Ill./Pekin) earned his fourth top-10 finish of the year and senior Lyle Burns (Mahomet, Ill./Seymour/Parkland) joined him in the top 10 as the duo helped lead the Bradley men’s golf team to a third-place team finish at the Carlton Oaks Invitational Tuesday.

Bushong placed in the top 10 for the fourth time in five tournaments and was seventh overall at 224 to lead the Braves in their first outing of the 2016 spring schedule. He finished up play with a three-over par 75 at the Carlton Oaks Golf Club to extend his streak of consecutive sub-80 rounds to 15.
