Coming off last week's fourth place showing, the Barton Community College men's golf team finished in seventh Tuesday afternoon in the Crossroads of America Invitational held at The Golf Club of Wentzville in Wentzville, Missouri.

The Cougar men found themselves just five strokes out of second following Monday's 306 score but like their women counterparts, Barton struggled on Tuesday. Adding some illness to the course challenges, the Cougars limped into the clubhouse in seventh place of the ten team field with a 326 to accumulate a two-day total of 64-over 632.

William Barnak paved the way landing as the lone Cougar inside the top five of the fifty-four man field, posting an opening 1-under 70 before carding a final round 73 finishing the tournament at 1-over 143.

Panupong Chuaychoo dipped outside the top-fifteen following a 75 with a final day 86 to place 33rd at 19-over 161. Antoine Martinot moved up two spots in the standings into a tie for 35th by shaving three strokes off Monday's score with an 80 to compile a 21-over 163.

Takerngsak Chuaychoo also joined the team 'theme-of-the-day', carding an 87 to drop thirteen spots from an opening 78 placing 40th at 23-over 165.

Joining Martinot as the lone pair of Cougars to improve in round two, individualist Brett Thompson recovered from an opening 98 to fire an 85 for a 41-over 183 in placing 51st.

Austin Hoberman's opening 88 score was all the freshman could post in the two days as the illness bug struck in forcing a tournament withdraw leaving the Cougars little room for error with the four-man team in the final round.

Barton's next action comes October 7 as the Cougars compete in the two-day Blue Devil Fall Classic held at Dub's Dread Golf Course in Kansas City, Kansas.
