BURLINGTON, Iowa – The Muscatine boys golf team finished third Monday afternoon at the 12-team Burlington Grayhound Invitational.

Josh Anderson paced the Muskies with a 6-over 78, good for sixth place individually, at the Burlington Country Club.

“He couldn’t have shot any higher than 78,” Muscatine coach Jerry Teel said. “It should have been 74 or 75, but he had some putting woes. For him, though, it was good deal to see him back in the 70s.”

Drake Decker had an 84 for Muscatine, while Michael Canfield and Brody Smock shot 85 and 86, respectively.

Ottumwa shot a blistering 309 to win the event by 17 strokes over Bettendorf. Muscatine finished with a 333, followed by Burlington (337) and Davenport Assumption (342). Ottumwa’s Marcus Giltner was the meet medalist with an even-par 72.

Adam Hutton had an 85 to lead the Muskie JV squad, which finished 10th at 376.

The Muskies return to action Thursday at Geneva Golf & Country Club against Davenport Assumption and Davenport Central in a triangular meet.
