Josh Kirkham Finishes Tied for First After Record-Setting Performance

Senior Josh Kirkham led the Braves at the SIUE Derek Dolenc Invitational, setting one school record and finishing tied for first as an individual.

After an opening-round 73, Kirkham connected on back-to-back sub-70 rounds with a 66 in the second round and a 67 during Tuesday's third round. His 66 in the second round tied the school record for lowest 18-hole performance as he becomes just the seventh player in school history to reach the mark (first since Michael Mounce in 2018). He then followed with a 67 to become the first golfer in school history with two rounds of 67 or lower in the same tournament.
