“ Having a day like today makes one wish we had another few weeks of golf to play,” Austin head coach Chris Gogolewski said. “Having a weathered spring like this one really shows how important it is to get out to play.”

The Packers finished eighth in the Big Nine for the year.

Austin scores: Alex Thorson, 76; Tony Baudler, 81; James Snee, 82; Ethan Morrey, 92; Nick Ross, 93
