Aquinas Invitational Champions

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- The Madonna men's golf team won their second tournament title in school history Tuesday at the Aquinas Spring Invitational, finishing one stroke ahead of Spring Arbor.

Madonna's first tournament title came September 23, 2006 as first-year head coach Steve Mato guided the Crusaders to a title at WHAC Jamboree #5, which was hosted by MU at Fellows Creek Golf Course in Canton.

The Crusaders were again led by freshman Steve South (Westland, Mich./Franklin HS) who finished tied for second place with a four-over-par 76.

Spring Arbor's Kris Bradshaw edged South and two other second-place finishers with a two-over-par 74 to claim the individual championship.

Junior Aaron Cheesman (Canton, Mich./Salem HS) tied for seventh place overall after carding a six-over 78 and junior Jono McMahon (Windsor, Ontario/Massey HS) turned in a seven-over-par 79 to tie for ninth place.

Senior Steve Robinson (Livonia, Mich./Churchill HS) carded and eight-over-par 80 and freshman Justin Taurence (Wyandotte, Mich./Roosevelt HS) rounded out the Crusaders efforts after turning in an 89 on his scorecard.

Madonna will try to win back-to-back tournament titles for the first time in school history at the Spring Arbor Invitational at Arbor Hills Golf Course Thursday, April 19 at 9:00 a.m.
