XX The team is averaging 293.78 strokes per tournament, which is currently second in school history for season averages. XX Four career-bests were made during the spring season so far at the Palmetto Invitational, two of which were 18-hole bests and the others were a 36-hole and a 54-hole career-best, along with tying a team season-best 36-hole score with 574 strokes. Individual Play: Jacobsen is currently No. 1 on the team versus par (out of those playing all 21 rounds), shooting 54 over par through seven tournaments. XX Following Jacobsen, Ross and Balit finished next among the Badgers after each scoring four birdies in the final round of the Hootie at Bull’s Bay Intercollegiate. This marks the second time Ross has finished in second place on the team and the first time Balit has snatched one of the top three spots on the team. XX Six players have broken 70 so far this season (Abrahamson, Jacobsen, O’Bryan, Schofield, Wajda, Watson), yet only two did during the entire 2013-14 season. XX Jacobsen has led the Badgers in three tournaments and finished second twice this season, while Wadja and O’Bryan have each snatched the top scoring spot twice. BADGER ROSTER Name
