HARTFORD, Wis. — The Saint Mary's University of Minnesota men's golf team had to battle more than the rest of the field at the 36-hole Wisconsin Lutheran Invitational.
 
Mother Nature had to put her two cents worth in, too.
 
Due to inclement weather that forced two weather delays and allowed less than half the field to complete their opening round on Sunday, the Cardinals found themselves putting in a little overtime on Monday—completing their opening-day rounds, before returning to the course for the final 18 holes of the two-day tournament.
 
The Cardinals, behind 162 36-hole totals by Kyle Brodt (Roseville, Minn.) and Davit Iten (Plymouth, Minn.), put together scores of 329-331 for a 660 total and a seventh-place team finish.
 
Brodt and teammate Owen Blakely (Elmhurst, Ill.) posted the low round of the tournament for the Cardinals, carding opening-round six-over-par 78s, while Brodt, Iten and Juan Sanchez (Bogota, Colombia) shared the team lead with 162 two-day totals—Brodt followed up his opening-round 78 with an 84, while Iten put together back-to-back 81s and Sanchez went 79-83.
 
Blakely (78-88) and Hunter Rau (Rushford, Minn. / 85-81) chipped in 166s, while Brett Jackson (Edmonton, Alberta) and Blair Sanders (Lee's Summit, Mo.) posted back-to-back rounds of 85 for 170 totals.
 
Carthage ran away with the team title, shooting a pair of 302s for a 604 total—33 shots better than runner-up Wisconsin Lutheran. Edgewood (649), Lake Forest (649), and Marian (651) rounded out the top five.
 
Carthage's Matt Menaghetti won medalist honors with an even-par 144 (74-70), three shots in front of runner-up Ryonen Faris (72-75—147).
 
The Cardinals are now off until Oct. 8-10, when they head to Bunker Hills Golf Course in Coon Rapids, Minn., to take part in the 54-hole Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships.
