Huskers Gear Up for Prairie Club Invitational

Lincoln, Neb. --- The Nebraska men's golf team continues the fall portion of their season Sept. 29-30 when they co-host the Prairie Club Invitational with South Dakota State at the Prairie Club Golf Course in Valentine, Neb.

The seven-team field features schools from seven different athletic conferences, including the SEC (Missouri), AAC (Central Florida), MAC (Northern Illinois), Sun Belt (South Alabama), Southland (Sam Houston State) and Missouri Valley (South Dakota State) in addition to Nebraska representing the Big Ten. 

The Husker lineup will feature one new face this week as Tom Westenberger, a junior college transfer from Iowa Western Community College (IWCC), will get his first crack at Division I competition. Westenberger finished 13th at the NJCAA Championships in 2018 and helped IWCC to a team runner-up finish at the NJCAA Division I Championships.

Westenberger will join senior Tanner Owen, junior Branden Meyer, junior Mark Foelbaek and sophomore Caleb Badura in the NU lineup.

The Huskers are looking to build upon a 10th-place finish at the Rod Myers/Duke Invitational in which they recorded an overall score of 896 (+52). 

Owen led the Huskers by shooting 222 (+6) over three rounds, which ranked 34th among individual players at the tournament.

Meyer finished tied for 41st in his first tournament as a Husker as he shot a three-round 224 (+8) and finished with a 74.66 stroke average.   

Badura and Foelbaek each fired a 226 (+10), which tied them for 44th in their first tournament as members of the Nebraska men's golf team. 

Sunday's round will tee off at 8:30 a.m with competition continuing Monday at 9 a.m..
