COLUMBUS, OHIO—The Wheeling University Men's Golf Team is headed to Columbus, Ohio, to play their final invitational of the season. The Ohio Dominican Invitational will be a two-day event taking place on Monday, October 26, and Tuesday, October 27. They are coming off a fourth place finish in the Findlay Invitational.
The Cardinals have a couple of upperclassmen who have led this team to high placements this season. Senior Brandon Lee, for the first time all year, finished first on the Cardinals team, having played a stellar three rounds in the Findlay Invitational. There wasn't a round where Lee shot three over par. His best round came in round three when he went one under par to place himself tied for 13th overall.
Another upperclassman, graduate student Sean Dobson, tied for 26th place in the last invitation but has been even better in other invitationals this season. Dobson's best round of the Findlay Invitational came in the first round, where he shot only one over par. In this round he hit three birdies and only hit four bogeys. Dobson was also able to pick up an eagle on hole eight of round three, showcasing his talents.
There are also some underclassmen who have been outstanding this season. First we have sophomore Elias Ekenes-Fosback, who tied for 18th in the most recent invitational. His best round came in round two, where he hit two under par, which was the best of any Cardinal in the whole tournament. During round two, he did not record a single bogey and hit two birdies.
Freshman Cormac Pearson wasn't able to make the top four of the Cardinals in the last invitational, but he has also been an amazing young golfer. The freshman led all Cardinals in the Mountain East Conference Men's Golf Championships, only shooting three over par. He has had an impressive start to his collegiate golf career.
The Cardinals look to get ready for the first day tomorrow to improve on their fourth-place finish from the Findlay Invitational.
