The Drake University men's golf team continued its nearly year-long unbeaten streak by defeating Valparaiso, 306-316 in a dual match Thursday, Oct. 15, at Spirit Hollow Golf Course in Burlington, Iowa.
 
The win marks the fourth-straight victory for the Bulldogs and second of the 2020 fall season.
 
"I am proud how the team played in very tough conditions," said Drake head coach Matt Lewis. "The course was set up around 7,200 yards with the greens firm and fast rolling at a 12 [on the stimpmeter]. The winds at 20 mph plus also made scoring a challenge."
 
The dual match featured six competitors from each squad with four scores counting. Tim Lim led the Bulldogs again and took medalist honors with a 74. Shayne Patel and Will Ellegard each carded a 76 while Lucas Scherf completed the scoring with an 80.
 
Nick Pittman and Kyle MacDonald also competed, recording rounds of 81 and 87, respectively.
 
"Spirit Hollow was in amazing shape and definitely had a championship feel with how it was playing. Patience and mental toughness were key today. I thought we did a pretty good job as a team handling the elements and this was a great way to end the fall season."
