Le Sueur, Minn. – The Gustavus Adolphus men’s golf team earned a dual victory over Minnesota State University, Mankato Wednesday afternoon at the Le Sueur Country Club. The Gusties turned in a winning team score of 284 compared to MSU, Mankato’s 294 to pick up their first dual win of the season.
Gustavus was led by senior Tyler McMorrow (St. Cloud, Minn.) who was the only player at the meet to finish under par. McMorrow took home medalist honors after shooting a four-under-par 66 (35-31).

Both players shot back-to-back 36s on the front and back nines to finish in a tie for fourth with two-over-par 72s. Gustie individuals not factored in the team score, Danny Cameron (Sr., Bloomington, Minn.), and Ben Elvestrom (Jr., Dellwood, Minn.), also finished fourth after turning in 72s. Cameron went 39-33 and Elvestrom went 38-34.
