Grand Rapids, Minn. (Grand Rapids)
70-70-74 (214)
Finish: T-1st (Won playoff over Ohio's Mlynarski)
Schneider earned his first career individual crown this past week as he carded a 214 (70-70-74) at the John Piper Intercollegiate to outlast a field of 75 golfers. He shared the honor of the low score with Ohio's John Mlynarski, but recorded a par compared to Mlynarski's bogey of the first playoff hole.
John Mlynarski, Ohio, Freshman
St. Michaels, Md.
70-70-74-214 (-2)
Finish: T-1st
Making his Bobcat debut at the John Piper Intercollegiate, John Mlynarski finished in a tie for first in the individual standings with a 54-hole total of 214 (-2), dropping the first playoff hole to Bowling Green’s Matt Schneider in the chase for the individual medal. Mlynarski, whose final tally equaled the 10th-best three-round score in program history, was one of just three golfers to break par for the entire event. He fired back-to-back rounds of 70 (-2) on the first day of play to earn a share of the lead after 36 holes.
Mlynarski’s effort led the Bobcats to a final-round 289 and a final tally of 876 (+12), which tied for the 10th-best in school history. Ohio, which started the day one stroke off the pace, won the tournament by six strokes.
