After winning first place in the Missouri Collegiate Disc Golf Championship held in Columbia in November, Missouri S&T’s Miner Disc Golf Club is heading to the national championship in North Augusta, South Carolina, this April, to compete against more than 35 college golf disc clubs.
The Missouri tournament included teams from the University of Missouri-Columbia, the University of Kansas and two teams from S&T. Tyler Fank, a sophomore in civil engineering, is the second ranked player in the state. He earned this title in a playoff match at the conclusion of the singles portion of the tournament.
S&T’s lead card, the S&T Gold team, dominated throughout and maintained a lead of six strokes under the Mizzou Gold team.
