ORLANDO, Fla. – Iowa State senior Cedric Bertin recorded his fifth top-10 finish of his Cyclone career Tuesday afternoon at the Rio Pinar Invitational. Bertin carded a 73 in the final round and ended the competition with a two day total of 213. ISU finished seventh in the team standings.
The Cyclones showed much improvement in Orlando, coming away with a four-stroke lead over Ohio State. Iowa State came in second last week at the Orange County National Triangular, finishing 11 strokes behind the Buckeyes.
Playing in his first 54-hole tournament, sophomore Ben Herrera acquired a top-20 finish, shooting a 216 total. Senior Chris Baker shot a final round of 71 for his second consecutive under-par round. Baker’s strong shooting helped him recover from a 4-over par first round and propelled him into a tie for 26th. The Brownstown, Ind., native climbed 16 spots on the individual leaderboard on the final day.
Joe Cermak and Nathan Leary also competed for the Cyclones.
Host Central Florida won the event, garnering its first team title since 2005. The Knights also claimed medalist honors with teammates Greg Forest and Mike Stern each carding a three-round total of 11-under par.
The Cyclones have three weeks off before returning to action at the Ron Moore Invite in Goodyear, Ariz.
