EVANSTON, Ill. -- For the second time in three years, Northwestern University has won its own Windon Memorial Golf Classic. This year's tournament featured 18 teams, including defending NCAA national champion California. Purdue's Peter Richardson won the individual title for a second consecutive year, becoming the tournament's first repeat champion.
The tournament is named after the late Bernie Windon, former vice-president of Ameritech, who spearheaded the effort to bring major collegiate golf to the Chicagoland area.
The Windon Memorial has been held nearly every year since 1993. After a one-year hiatus, the tournament returned in the fall of 2002, with the Wildcats winning their first Windon crown. Minnesota, which placed fifth this year, was trying to win an unprecedented fourth title.
After trailing by seven strokes through the first 18 holes, Northwestern made its move in the second round, taking a one-stroke lead over Purdue after firing an even-par 284. The Wildcats extended their lead to four strokes in the final round and finishing ahead of Duke. Purdue and Kent State tied for third place, five strokes back, and Minnesota was eight strokes behind the 'Cats.
The Wildcats won the Windon with a balanced team effort. Three players shot par or better in the second and third rounds, highlighted by a second-round 2-under 69 by junior Bryson Young (Reno, Nev./Galena). His 69 came after a first-round 80.
Senior Dillon Dougherty (Woodland, Calif./Woodland) carded even-par 71's in the last two rounds to finish sixth overall (73-71-71=215). That was Northwestern's best individual finish.
Sophomore David Merkow (Hartland, Wis./Arrowhead Union) placed ninth on the strength of a 1-under 70 in the last round. He was 4-over (74-73-70=217) for the tournament.
Young was sitting in 74th place after the first 18 holes, but climbed all the way to 14th place (80-69-70=219) after shooting a 3-under 139 in the last two rounds.
Freshman Dan Doyle (Rochester, Mich./Stoney Creek) placed 29th (75-71-76=222) and sophomore Chris Wilson (Dublin, Ohio/Dublin Coffman) placed 32nd (72-75-76=223).
California, ranked 21st in the latest Golf World poll, placed 13th among the 18 teams. Northwestern returns to action next week at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational.
