VERNON HILLS, Ill. - Experienced golfer Jared Christensen played stellar golf at the Forester Spring Invite today, shooting an even 72 to tie for fourth with four other individuals.

"White Deer Run Golf Club is an excellent golf course, and a course where you must play smart on almost every hole," noted Carthage College director of golf and head men's golf coach Jay Christiansen.

"That sets up exactly the way Jared [Christensen] likes to play, and he didn't disappoint. Our senior leader was excellent today."

"We took another step forward today. We played a lot of good golf and, when we struggled, we didn't let it impact our approach. We battled back and stayed very solid. Shooting 300 is a very good score, and I think we have even better scores ahead."



 

• With no day off, the Firebirds will hit the links in Mukwonago tomorrow for Wisconsin Lutheran College's Spring Invitational. Action will start at 1:15 p.m.
