RedTail Golf Finishes the Season at NJCAA Nationals

JOPLIN, MO-The RedTail Men's Golf team came home finishing 12th from the NJCAA Nationals meet at the Twin Hills Country Club in Joplin, Missouri on May 17-20, 2022. Overall, the men's team scored 311-309-316-309 each day for a combined score of 1245.

Tom Bell was the highest finishing RedTail scoring a total of 298 (78-71-76-73) placing him tied for 13th overall. Luke Galeazzi (74-78-84-84) and Grant Dekruyf (79-83-77-82) followed for the RedTails both tying for 64th overall with a score of 320. Aden Zwanziger tied for 68th with a combined score of 322 (87-81-79-75). Melker Andersson wasn't too far behind with a score of 326 (80-79-87-80) which placed him tied for 70th overall.

"It's hard to be disappointed with our play considering it was our first ever appearance in the National Tournament, but I think everyone felt like they left a lot of shots on the course," said coach Micah Destival. "The week was an incredible experience and to have Tom Bell become our first All-American was a nice way to cap off this record breaking season. We return almost everyone for next year so I think the guys will be motivated over the next twelve months to continue to improve so we can make it back next year to Indiana. This was a great year that is sad to be ending and we will miss Tom and Aden a lot next season, but wish them well in their next endeavors."
