INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - The Green Bay men's golf team began its spring season yesterday at the Don Benbow Spring Invitational, hosted by Butler University. Green Bay competed against 13 other teams, including Butler, Purdue Fort Wayne, Indian Hills, Oakland, Bradley, IUPUI, Evansville, Cleveland State, Detroit Mercy, DePaul, Youngstown State, and Loyola-Chicago. Tuesday's final round of 18 was canceled early Tuesday morning due to rain.

Trent Meyer and Logan Pechinski led the Green and White by finishing in the middle of an 11-way tie for 50th place overall (145, +5). Meyer tallied a score of 71 (+1) in the opening round on Monday before tallying a 74 (+4) in the second round. Pechinski's score was identical, notching a 74 (+4) in round one before scoring a 71 (+1) in round two. The sophomore tallied four birdies, including two on the back nine, to complete the second round one over par. Zak Kulka finished just one stroke back of the duo, inserting himself into a nine-way tie for 61st place individually. Like Meyer, he scored a 71 (+1) in the opening 18 before stroking a 75 (+5) in the second round.

Green Bay won't have to wait long for its next tournament as the team will participate in the Western Illinois Spring Invite in Silvis, Illinois this Friday and Saturday.
