DAUFUSKIE ISLAND, S.C. – The Iowa State men's golf team finished competition at the Rees Jones Invitational, Tuesday. The Cyclones placed seventh out of 12 teams after carding a final-round 301, bringing their 54-hole tally to 915 (299-315-301).

Senior Borja Virto carded the lowest 18 hole score of the day for the Cyclones with a 73. Virto closed the tournament with a 227 total (75-79-73), tying for 15th among individuals.

Redshirt freshman Collin Foster shot a final-round 77 and finished the tournament in a tie for 18th, individually.
