Final Results
SUNRISE BEACH, Mo. -- The Missouri State men's golf team finished second Tuesday (Apr. 23) at the Missouri Valley Conference Championship, recording its best league finish in 12 years. The Bears fired a final-round 285, matching their opening round of the tournament and the low round of the final day, to post an even-par 864 for the championship. They ended each day of the tournament in second place on the way to their best showing since also finishing second in 2012 in Hutchinson, Kan.
Individually, the senior duo of Hampus Wijkstrom and Max Kreikemeier finished fourth and sixth, respectively, while junior Ludvig Wijkstrom placed 14th.

The Saltsjobaden, Sweden native finished his only season at MSU after transferring from Augusta by shattering the school single-season scoring mark with a 70.22 average. Kreikemeier carded 73-70-71--214 and ended his standout career with three all-conference honors under his belt as well as numerous entries in the school record book.
