The Wildcats, led by 2023 Byron Nelson Award Finalist David Nyfjäll, placed second at the Fighting Illini Spring Collegiate at Atkins Golf Club last weekend. While the University of Illinois ran away with the team competition, Northwestern comfortably finished as runners-up in a very competitive field with other Big Ten programs including Michigan State, Indiana and Nebraska.

Freshman Daniel Svärd’s stellar performance spearheaded the ‘Cats, as he fired a five-under 66 in the final round to secure a second place finish in the individual tournament and for the team.
