April 9, 2024
HOWEY-IN-THE-HILL, Fla. -- The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire didn't make it to the NCAA Division III Championships this season, but the Blugolds' Cole Jahnke did, and he made the most of his chance.
A senior from Stillwater, Jahnke was never out of the top 15 at the end of any round last week, and he ended up tied for sixth with a 72-hole total of 291.
He opened with a 1-over-par 72 at Las Colinas GC, one of the two courses that were used for the tournament, which started with a field of 43 teams plus six unattached individuals. On Day 2, Jahnke had a 2-over 74 at El Campeon, but moved up from 14th place to 13th.
The field was cut to the top 18 teams and individuals with a score of 149 or better after two rounds. Jahnke moved into the top 10 with a 72 in the third round, and his closing 73 bumped him up another two spots into the tie for sixth. Each of the last two rounds was played at El Campeon.
Andre Chi won the individual crown with a 283. He shot 73 in the first round and followed with three three consecutive 70's. His performance helped propel Methodist University to the team title, which it won with an aggregate of 1168. Hayden-Sydney College finished second, eight behind at 1176.
Will Hocker of Webster, finished second in the individual standings, two behind Chi at 285. Like Jahnke, Hocker was in the tournament as an individual.
Gustavus Adolphus, which finished second in the MIAC Championships last fall, and MIAC champ St. John's both missed the 36-hole cut. The Gusties finished 24th with a two-round total of 630. St. John's was 26th with a two-day tab of 633.
