Sioux finish strong, Monda cracks top four

OXBOW, N.D. - The Fighting Sioux men's golf team enjoyed its best round of the tournament while junior Tyler Monda carded his second straight 74 to finish in fourth place at the Erv Kaiser Invitational, which concluded today at the Oxbow Country Club.

UND finished in fourth place with a 922 after posting a final-round 300 today, an improvement on the 312 and 310 the Sioux shot in the first two rounds, respectively.

Green Bay captured first place with an 899 (306-296-297) to defeat runner-up Manitoba by eight strokes.

Monda, meanwhile, shot a two-over-par 74 for the second straight day to finish just two shots off the lead in fourth place. The Brainerd, Minn., native finished the two-day, three-round tournament with a seven-over 223 (75-74-74).

Green Bay's Sam Weber took medalist honors with a five-over 221 (70-78-73).
