Peosta--Sebastian Stobart (So., Harare, Zimbabwe, St. Georges College) tallied the best finish of his young career to pace the Statesmen linksters at the Clarke Invitational Sunday and Monday.

Penn finished third out of 13 teams at the par-71 Thunder Hills Country Club. The Statesmen shot 300 Sunday to sit in second place after Day One, but faltered a bit the second day with a 317 to post a final score of 617.

St. Ambrose ran away with the crown with a final score of 569 (282-287), one over par for the tournament. Central White was second at 614 (309-305).

Dusty Drenth of St. Ambrose claimed medalist honors by firing a score of eight-under 134 (69-65).

St. Ambrose and Drenth both broke tournament records, while Drenth also tied the course record.

Stobart had two solid rounds of 72 and 73 to place fourth overall with a final tally of three-over 145.

Penn managed two players in the top 20 as Adriaan de Villiers (Fr., Akasia, South Africa, Akasia HS) tied for 19th at 155 (77-78), while Cam Armitage (Jr., Delta, B.C., North Delta HS) was third for the team in a tie for 27th at 158 (75-83).
