Never threatened over 72 holes, Central posted a 29-shot victory in claiming its 32nd Iowa Conference men’s golf championship and its sixth in the past seven years.
That resulted in the program’s 33rd appearance in the NCAA Division III tournament, competing at Greensboro, N.C., where the Dutch finished 16th, missing the 36-hole cut by just a shot. But conference MVP senior Desmond Stoll advanced as an individual, tying for 34th at 73-73-75-78—299. Stoll was the league medalist with 76-71-70-72—289, eight shots better than senior Adam Squires, the runner-up. Senior Jon Prescott was eighth and senior Clay Curwin was ninth. All four were named to the Ping Division III All-Central Region team.
It was a dominant season for coach Chad Green’s squad, which took titles in tournaments hosted by Illinois- Springfield, Webster (Mo.), Loras and Central, while placing second in the 20-team Illinois Wesleyan Invitational.
