St. Cloud, Minn. --- Linfield men's golf continued the Fall season for a second-straight week of competition, finishing 12^th as team amongst the 19-team field. Junior Douglas Bailey led the Wildcats in both rounds, firing a total of 147 (+3) to earn 20^th-place.
 
The tournament was split between two courses, the first at St. Cloud Country Club, and the final at Blackberry Ridge Golf Course. Bailey opened up the tournament with a one-under 35 on the back nine at SCCC, before closing with a 37 to shoot an even-par 72. Just one birdie in the final round at BRGC held the junior to a three-over 75, enough to earn the top-20 finish.
 
Ryder Ng began his sophomore campaign with a 68 in round one last weekend at the Whitworth Fall Invitational, starting this weekend with an opening-round 74. Ng's round was highlighted by an eagle on the par-five fourth hole at SCCC. He closed the tournament with a 78, bouncing back from a slow start, going one-under over his final three holes to earn 43^rd.
 
Brody Landaker kept his strong play going, coming off of a final round 68 last weekend. Landaker started the second tournament of his career with a 74, but a final round 80 at Blackberry Ridge dropped the freshman to 51^st for the weekend.
 
Freshman Timothy Morach saw his first action of his career on the starting roster, firing a pair of 78's in each round to take 61^st in his first varsity collegiate tournament. Senior Kellen Hudson rounded out the 'Cats lineup, finishing in 68^thwith rounds of 77 and 80. 
 
The team finished in 12^th with rounds of 297 and 311 (+32). Carleton claimed the individual and team titles, thanks rounds of five-under and two-under par as a team. Linfield ranked sixth in the event in pars with 105, and seventh-best on the par-five's with a team total of five-under. Ng finished tied for fifth in par-five scoring, averaging under par for a four-under total on those respective holes.
 
The 'Cats hit the course once again in just over a week, heading to DuPont, Washington, for the Pacific Lutheran Invitational at the Home Course.
