Men’s Golf finishes second in invitational, 3 make top 10
Fresno State competed against 15 other teams at the Alister MacKenzie Golf invitational Tuesday, placing second with 847 and losing to host Cal by only three stokes.
Purdue trailed with 848 placing third and Michigan and UC Irvine with 850 tied for fourth.
Senior golfer Jon Rosa brought the individual title home to the Dogs by shooting 71-67-67 with 205. Rosa defeated Stanford’s Rob Grube by one stroke.
Golfers Jason Anthony and Matt Shaw both shot 211 during the tournament and tied for 10th.
Head coach Mike Watney said top-10 finishes are hard to come by in college golf so it was a great start to have three.
Fresno State will play this Friday and Saturday at the Lexus Golf Classic at the San Joaquin Country Club.
