The Drake University men's golf team finished in third place in the Zach Johnson Invitational on Tuesday at the Glen Oaks Country Club. 

A final-round 293 was the Bulldogs' best of the event, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with Loyola who won the event with a 54-hole total of 888 (300-301-287). The Ramblers finished with a two-stroke lead over Valparaiso who finished in second place.

Drake was led by freshman Nick Pittman, whose 219 (77-73-69) was tied for sixth overall. Lucas Scherf finished four shots back of Pittman at 223 (74-74-75) and finished tied for 14th. Junior Tim Lim totaled 229 (76-77-76) and tied for 28th.

Chase Wicklund got back on track after a difficult first day and finished tied for 36th with a 54-hole total of 232 (76-83-73). Freshman Silvester Tan also finished tied for 36th with a 232 (79-76-77) following the final round of play. Drake's two individual players, Shayne Patel and Kyle MacDonald, finished with 54-hole totals of 237 (85-79-73) and 259 (89-84-86), respectively.

Drake will head to Powell's Point, N.C. for the ODU/Outer Banks Intercollegiate hosted by Old Dominion on Oct. 20-22 for their final event of the Fall season.
