NOBLESVILLE, Indiana – The Earlham Men's Golf stepped up in class taking on some of the top tier of the NAIA in the Sagamore Shootout hosted by Indiana Wesleyan at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Sagamore Club in Noblesville.

The Quakers were able to add a top-notch event to the schedule after a recent tournament was washed out. Seeded 8th in the 9-team event, the Earlham men outdueled IU-Kokomo for the 7th spot aided by Charles Bowen-Rayner's (London, England) eagle 3 late in the second round.

The Quakers were paced by first-year Arthur Del Bourgo (Metz, France) who shot a respectable 82-77 – 159 to finish in the top 30.

Head Coach CD Hockersmith said, "The Sagamore Club is extremely challenging. You find out immediately where the weaknesses lie your game. It will serve the team well as they head into the HCAC Championship. The guys will have a few days off to rest and recover before we begin our final preparation for the conference championship at the Country Club of Terre Haute."

Rose-Hulman hosts the HCAC Championship at the venerable club, May 3 – 5, as the Quakers look to raise a banner for the first time in school history.
