FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Southern shoots 297 on Monday to win Central Invitational

Missouri Southern fired its first sub-300 round of the spring on Monday and posted its first win of the 2004-05 season, a two-stroke victory at the Central Region Invitational.

The Lions, winning the tournament for the second straight year, shot a 297 on Monday and came into Tuesday with a two-shot lead on Washburn. After initially beginning second-round play Tuesday, the remainder tournament was called off due to inclement weather.

Fort Hays (Kan.) State finished four strokes back of Washburn with a 303, while Central Missouri State and Winona (Minn.) State tied for fourth with 304.

MSSU senior Danny Sinksen (Sioux Falls, S.D.) shot a 71 on Monday to tie for the overall lead. Sinksen finished fourth in a scorecard playoff to determine the medalist, Cole Nondorf of FHSU.

Senior Andrew Koehler (Superior, Wis.) tied for seventh place with a 73. Both Sinksen and Koehler shot 34 on the back nine at the par 72, 6889-yard Ironhorse Golf Club in Leawood, Kan.

Senior Travis Stockholm (Springfield, S.D.) tied for 14th place with a 76 (38-38). Senior Geir Askvik (Oslo, Norway) tied for 22nd with a 77 (38-39). Freshman Ben Perry (Lee’s Summit, Mo.) rounded out the Lion contingent, shooting an 83 (42-41) in just his second tournament of the spring.

The Lions shot a day 2 low round of 300 and won last year’s tournament at Ironhorse by four strokes over Winona State.

Missouri Southern continues its season next Monday and Tuesday (April 18-19) at the MIAA Tournament in Blue Springs, Mo. The Lions are currently fourth in the MIAA standings with 17 points.
