Martinez Finishes in 30th Place at UMHB Invitational

The Schreiner Men's Golf team got to experience what it's women's team has gone through all season - playing short-handed.  The Mountaineers were down to only four players for the UMHB Fall Invitational but SU never quit.  Freshman Arnie Martinez again was Schreiner's top player, finishing in 30th place in the nearly 110-player field.  Martinez started off with a 78 in the first round despite battling rainy conditions.  That result left him in the middle of the pack with one round to go.  In round two, the rain was gone but windy conditions replaced the precipitation.  While many players' scores went up in the second round, Martinez improved three shots and moved past a quarter of the field.  Martinez is establishing himself as one of the top young players in the ASC.

"It was a rough spot to be in - playing only four players, but the guys never got down or complained," said coach Ron Macosko.  "We've been through a lot this semester - things we never expected to go through - but I'm very proud of the guys who are still in this program.   We got knocked down and we got right back up.  We'll have a different view in the future and these guys are going to help us get there."
