Final Results

Austin Knight led the Murray State men's golf team with a 19^th place showing after the final round was complete Monday afternoon at the Derek Dolenc Invitational, hosted by SIUE at the Gateway National Golf Links in Madison, Illinois.

Knight proved the most consistent Racer in the 54-hole event where the Gateway Arch in downtown St. Louis, Missouri can be seen just across the Mississippi River. In the final round, Knight made 13 pars and carded a 75. His stat line (72-69-75=216) included a 2-under-par effort in the second round.

Playing as an individual, James Boone was third among the six MSU players and finished 58^th on rounds of 76-74-78=228.

The Racers placed 12^th among the field of 18 teams on scores of 305-289-297=891. The Racers finished ahead of Western Illinois (892) and Northern Iowa (890) and just behind Omaha (887). UT Martin was the champion at 852, ahead of a pair of Ohio Valley Conference teams, Tennessee Tech (857) and Belmont (868).

The Racers continue the fall portion of their 2019-20 season with a trip to Buchanan, Tennessee (Sept. 30-Oct. 1) to compete at the UT Martin Skyhawk Classic at Paris Landing State Park.
