Monmouth's on again, off again men's golf season continued yesterday as the team hit the links for the first time since March at the Augustana Invitational.
    
Wintery weather forecast for Saturday cut the 36-hole event in half as the teams finished Friday's round before Day 2 was cancelled. Monmouth carded a one-day score of 341 with a trio of golfers in the 80s.
    
Nate Hopper led the Scots with an 80 after opening the first nine with a 36 before ballooning to a 44 on the back nine. Nearly even rounds of 41-42 gave Logan Moothart an 83, Monmouth's second best score of the day. Sam Gillen also turned in nearly identical rounds to card a 43-44-87. Nate Monroe and Luke Long tied for the fourth man scoring, but got to their 91s with opposite routes. Monroe opened the front nine with a 48 but shaved five strokes on the back nine for a 43. Long posted a 44 on the front, but slipped to a 47 on the back.
    
Mason Ely led three Scots golfing as individuals, posting a 44-41-85 for the third-best score by a Scot on Friday. Braden Williams toured the front nine with a 44 but a 49 on the back gave him an 18-hole round of 93. Zach Ferris wrapped up the Scots' squad with a 124.
    
Sunday's Forester Invitational was cancelled due to the weather, pushing Monmouth's next tournament back to next weekend – weather permitting – at the Illinois College Blueboy Invite.
