Despite the advantages, the Badgers placed <a href=\"https:\/\/scoreboard.clippd.com\/tournaments\/236150\/scoring\/team\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">11th out of 14th posting a collective score of 21 over<\/a>, a disappointing result with momentum in their favor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Going into the tournament, Spencer Turtz was a name to keep on the radar. His leadership and winning experience make him a crucial part of the team, and he definitely showed that this week.<\/p>\n<p>Turtz was the top team finisher for the Badgers, placing 29th and shooting +3 for the tournament. Although not under par, he was solid over three rounds, shooting a consistent <a href=\"https:\/\/uwbadgers.com\/news\/2025\/9\/22\/mens-golf-wisconsin-in-12th-after-day-1-of-badger-invitational.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">+1 (73) each day.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another notable performance came from true freshman Vijay Kumar, an individual player for the Badgers. Kumar started off shaky with a +6 in round one, but then pulled it back, shooting even in round two and an amazing -3 in round three. <a href=\"https:\/\/uwbadgers.com\/news\/2025\/9\/22\/mens-golf-wisconsin-in-12th-after-day-1-of-badger-invitational.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">He jumped 31 spots on the<\/a> leaderboard to tie teammate Turtz in 29th and place second among all individual players.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>William Harned and Charles Erlandson were also able to post some good scores. Harned finished the tournament +6 but was able to card a -2 (70) in round two and finish 47th. Erlandson also finished 47th and surged 10 spots on the leaderboard by carding a +1 (73) in the final round. They both finished +6, the next best scores for the Badgers, behind Kumar and Turtz.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although this was not the outcome the Badgers had hoped for nor expected, there are bright spots to look back on. Versatility was certainly shown as a senior and freshman were able to get it done and end up placing well.<\/p>\n<p>It is now time to focus up and build for what\u2019s next. The Badgers will travel an hour to the iconic Erin Hills Golf course to take on the <a href=\"http:\/\/gomarquette.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Marquette Intercollegiate<\/a> tournament on Oct. 5.<\/p>\n<p>\n Enjoy what you&#8217;re reading?
