PREVIEW: Men's Golf Closes Fall Season at Pearl at Kalauao Invitational

| By:

The Butler men's golf team will close out its fall schedule this week as the Bulldogs travel to O'ahu for the Pearl at Kalauao Invitational, Nov. 4-5, hosted by Hawaii and Hawaii Pacific.

Butler enters the final tournament of the fall season following a first-place finish at the Dayton Flyer Invitational, where the Bulldogs captured the team title at 2-under 850. Butler was the only team in the 13-team field to finish under par. Junior Logan Sutto earned medalist honors, finishing at 6-under 207 to claim his second individual title of the season and giving Sutto his third BIG EAST Weekly Honor. 

Sutto will be joined by Nicholas Brooks, Jacob Tarkany, Nick Vilela and Johnny Leaman. Johnny Creamean will be joining the team as an individual. 

The Bulldogs have put together a strong fall campaign, opening the season with a second-place finish at the RedHawk Intercollegiate before capturing the team title at the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational. Butler added a seventh-place finish at the Purdue Fall Invitational before returning to the winner's circle in Dayton.

The two-day, 54-hole tournament will feature a 7:30 a.m. PST shotgun start both days at the par-72, 6,955-yard Pearl at Kalauao course. The field will play 36 holes Wednesday before concluding with the final 18 holes Thursday. 

Butler is joined in the 18-team field by hosts Hawaii and Hawaii Pacific, BIG EAST rival St. John's, Air Force, Army, Augusta State, Cal State Fullerton, East Texas A&M, Loyola Marymount, Middle Tennessee, Northern Colorado, Prairie View A&M, UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UT Arlington, West Virginia, and Wofford. West Virginia returns as the defending champion after claiming last year's title by 11 strokes over UC San Diego.
