The Johnnies had a strong start through their first nine, carding 25 pars, five birdies and three eagles, but trouble came later in the course, shooting over par on almost half of their back-nine holes. 

Senior Ethan Kress (Woodbury, Minn.), SJU's leader through rounds one and two, finished 17th with a 5-over 77 on Monday. Kress shot par on eight of his first nine holes but carded an eight on the par-4 No. 7. He added six pars and a two-shot eagle on the back nine but bogeyed 10 and 11 for a three-round 230 (+14), dropping five spots on the final leaderboard. 

Sophomore Gavin Grahek (Maple Grove, Minn.) finished 19th for SJU with a weekend total of 232 (+16). He was two under to start Monday's round three, collecting a pair of birdies and a three-shot eagle on hole nine, but bogeyed four consecutive after the turn for a 6-over 78. 

Freshman Austin Roloff (Minneapolis, Minn./Spring Lake Park) shot par on 12 of his 18 holes on Monday and ended with a birdie but doubled twice and bogeyed three times to join Grahek with a 78 (+6). He finished tied for 23rd with a 234 (+18) in his first MIAC tournament. 

Senior Tim Fultz (Stillwater, Minn./Stillwater Area) and junior Nate Appelhof (Blaine, Minn./Totino-Grace) tied for 25th at 235 (+19). Fultz also shot eagle on No. 9 and was even through his first nine holes but finished as the third Johnnie with a 78. Appelhof had SJU's best start on Monday with a pair of birdies, a three-shot eagle on No. 4 and two pars but doubled twice and bogeyed three times on his next five holes.
