The Marquette men’s golf team earned first place (303-288-281-872, 8-over-par) overall Sunday afternoon at the BIG EAST Championship in Okatie, South Carolina, winning its third BIG EAST Championship in five years.
The team held a comfortable lead, with second-place DePaul (301-296-299-896, 32-over-par) finishing 24 strokes behind the Golden Eagles.
It’s a much different tale compared to last season, when the Golden Eagles lost to Georgetown in the 2018 BIG EAST Championship by just four strokes.
Matt Murlick led the squad after tying for a second-place individual finish (75-72-70-217, 1-over-par). The Winnetka, Illinois, native’s performance is a drastic improvement after finishing near the bottom of the pool in the last two invitationals.
