Bulldogs Earn Runner-Up Finish at Purdue Fall Invitational

| By:

Butler earned a runner-up result in the team standings at the 2025 Purdue Fall Invitational, continuing an early-season streak of Top-2 finishes in all of their events thus far.
 
The Bulldogs' Tuesday final-round score of eight-under 280 was the best round of the day among the 15-team field. Tuesday's play moved the Bulldogs from fourth into second on the team leaderboard at 858 (-6). The host Boilermakers won the 54-hole tournament at 839 (-25).
 
Butler's Leo Zurovac tied for fifth individually at three-under 213. He carded a two-under round of 70 Tuesday on the 7,465-yard Kampen-Cosler Golf Course in West Lafayette, Ind., after Monday rounds of 72 and 71. Zurovac's round included an eagle for the second consecutive day, writing down a 2 on his scorecard for the par-4, 362-yard 15th Tuesday after posting an eagle-3 on the 607-yard tenth hole Monday afternoon.
 
Freshman Marius Reiersen also had a Top 10 finish, tying for eighth at two-under 214. Both he and teammate Jacob Tarkany shot three-under rounds of 69 Tuesday. Tarkany's round moved him into a tie for 20th at 218 (+2) for the tournament. All five Bulldogs finished among the Top 30 among the 78-player field.
 
Southern Illinois's Anthony De Schutter won individual medalist honors at six-under 210. He was one shot ahead of Purdue's Will Harvey. Harvey led the Boilermakers to the team title but all five Purdue players finished at even-par or better and no worse than a tie for 13th on the individual leaderboard.
 
Butler has now posted Top-2 finishes in each of their four events this fall, taking team titles at both the season-opening Golden Grizzlies Intercollegiate and the Virtues Intercollegiate in their last outing.
 
Purdue simultaneously hosted an individual tournament on their Ackerman-Allen Golf Course. Butler's Will Horne tied for third in the 36-hole event at three-over 145. He carded an even-par 71 Monday and followed that with a Tuesday 74. He was part of a three-way tie for third and two shots back of co-medalists Avery Mahoney of Ball State and Jackson Overton of Loyola Chicago.
