Western Kentucky freshman Riley Grindstaff posted his lowest score of the season Tuesday with a 2-under 70 in the final day of the Graeme McDowell Invitational hosted by UAB. He led the team on to an 11th-place finish at 19-over 883 for the tournament.

“We really struggled today around the greens,” WKU head coach Chan Metts said in a news release. “We threw a lot of shots away as we got closer to the hole, and you can’t do that on a second shot course like this. I do think we put ourselves in a position to feel a little pressure, and I’m a big believer that those are the moments when you can learn the most and improve.
