Weather that has impacted most of the eastern half of the United States over the last few days forced the 2024 Virtues Intercollegiate to be shortened to 36 holes.Â
Butler finished seventh among the 14-team filed. The Bulldogs were able to get in all 36 of their holes Saturday, while a small group of teams returned to the course Sunday morning to finish out their suspended round.Â
The Bulldogs shot Saturday rounds of 291 and 293 to post a total of eight-over 584.

For the Bulldogs,
Leo Zurovac led the charge after a pair of even-par 72s Saturday on the Virtues Golf Course in Nashport, Ohio. He finished in a tie for 18th.Â
Michigan took the tournament title at 17-under 559, which included a 12-under 276 in the second and final round. The Wolverines were three shots clear of James Madison.
Yuqi Liu of Michigan won the event at seven-under 137 after rounds of 69 and 68. He was one shot better than Robert Morris's Chuck Tragesser.Â
