HARTFORD, Wis. — Wisconsin finished its final round at the Marquette Intercollegiate with a two-over-par 290. Overall the team placed 15th with an eight-over-par 872.

Erin Hills proved to be a challenging course. Wisconsin shot a 303 on the first day, but made a comeback in the second and third rounds.

"This week was definitely disappointing," said Griffin Barela.  "We put ourselves in an awful position after the first round and definitely made some improvements in the last two rounds, but it wasn't enough to dig ourselves out of a hole against this good of a field."

The Badgers improved their team score by 24 strokes from the first to the second round as Barela, Cameron Huss and Coalter Smith all shot under par, while Robbie Morway shot even. Wisconsin recorded a 279, matching the third-lowest team score in program history.

Cameron Huss improved seven strokes from Sunday to Monday, carding a three-under-par 69 for the second round. He also shot under par in the final round with a four-under-par 68 to match his 18-hole career-low.

Huss and Barela shared the lead for the Badgers. Both finished with a three-under-par 213 and tied for 22nd place.

Barela led for the Badgers on Sunday and Monday after shooting an even 72 and then a four-under-par 68. He shot one-over-par in the final round.

Smith joined Huss on the second day, improving by seven strokes and taking a two-under-par 70. He finished the tournament at six-over-par with a 222.

Morway also had his best round on the second day, shooting an even 72. He finished with an eight-over-par 224.

Freshman Graham Moody made his collegiate debut with the Badgers at the Marquette Intercollegiate. He shot a career-low 18-hole score of 79 in the second round, as well as recorded a 36-hole career-low of 159 and 54-hole low of 242.

"I am really proud of how our guys competed this week," said head coach Mike Wilson. "To be 16 over after nine holes and then play the next 45 holes at eight under is an accomplishment." Wilson made his coaching debut with Wisconsin at the Marquette Intercollegiate.

The individual event at Washington County Golf Course wrapped up early Monday afternoon. Cameron Frazier led the three Badgers competing in the event, shooting a new career-low 18-hole score of 66 (-6) for the second round. This is six strokes better than his previous best. He also carded a career-low 36-hole score of 140 (-4) to finished tied for 13th and first for the Badgers.

Jacob Beckman shot a new career-low 18-hole score of 68 (-4) and 36-hole score of 145 (+1) to finish tied for 22nd.

Ryan Smith finished 30th with a 148.

The Badgers take a short break before returning to competition. Next up, the team hosts the Badger Invitational at University Ridge on September 26-28.
