Golf wraps up regular season in Lafayette

After a rough 14th-place finish, the No. 6 IU men’s golf team responded with a tournament victory on its home course. Now, the Hoosiers head to rival Purdue for the Boilermaker Invitational, but they are wishing they could flash to the future.

“We might be looking ahead a little bit,” IU coach Mike Mayer said after last weekend’s victory. “Winning the Big Ten title is our only goal.”

The Hoosiers tied for third at last year’s tournament, but if they get similar results, they could find themselves at the top this time. 

Senior Jorge Campillo was named Big Ten Men’s Golfer of the Week for the ninth time in his four-year career – the most by any Hoosier golfer – after winning at the adidas Hoosier Invitational. 

Campillo is also closing in on school history. Last weekend he passed former Hoosier Jeff Overton for second all-time on the season round average list (70.46).
