Results

Butler's Damon Dickey and Daniel Tanaka each bettered the Bulldogs' 54-hole scoring record relative to par, while the team did the same for single-round and 54-hole totals as Butler ran away with the championship at the Tom Tontimonia Invitational hosted by Cleveland State.
 
Dickey captured medalist honors at 10-under 203. He was one shot ahead of teammate Tanaka, who finished at 204 (-9). Both performances bettered the previous program record for 54-hole low total relative to par, which was set by Gehrig Hollatz at the 2015 Butler Fall Invitational (seven-under 203). Dickey's 203 matched the best 54-hole score in program history regardless of par as Hollatz's total came on a par-70 course.
 
Dickey's Monday scores of 68 and 66 had him at eight-under 134 entering Tuesday's final round. He followed that with a two-under 69 on the par-71, 6,811-yard Lakewood Country Club in Westlake, Ohio. Tanaka's 67 Tuesday moved him from a tie for sixth entering the day into the runner-up position.
 
As a team, Butler shot a 15-under 269 Tuesday, the best team score overall and team round relative to par in program history. The previous marks were a 273 (-7) at the 2011 Butler Fall Invitational and a 13-under 275 in the second round of the 2001 Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational, respectively.
 
Butler's total of 823 (-29) is 17 shots better than any 54-hole team performance is program history (an even-par 840 at the 2018 Butler Fall Invitational on a par-70 course). Relative to par, the previous record was set a week ago as the Bulldogs shot a four-under 860 at the Virtues Intercollegiate.
 
Sophomore Derek Tabor had the Bulldogs' best round of the day Tuesday, carding a six-under 65. Tabor had seven birdies against only one bogey on his card. He finished in a tie for eighth at 208 (-5) after entering the day tied for 28th. Leo Zurovac became the fifth Bulldogs to card a round of 68 or better in the event, accomplishing the feat Tuesday.
 
Butler's Tuesday round was so impressive that the team had to throw out a two-under 69.
 
Dickey continued his strong play in the Cleveland area after tying for fifth in the event in 2022.
