STORM LAKE, Iowa (Sept. 20, 2026) - The Buena Vista men's golf team wrapped up the 2026 BVU Fall Invite on a dreary Sunday afternoon, but the Beavers capped off a strong 36-hole event with a fourth place finish while also capturing a third-place individual performance from Chase Belka.

Belka, who was 1-under on his opening round, battled through the more challenging conditions on Sunday and finished with a 5-over 76. His round included a pair of birdies. Brady Nichols matched Belka's 76 and dropped one spot in the standings and tied for fifth.

Junior Tommy Dredla gave BVU a third top-15 individual finish with a final round 78 which was three strokes better than his opening round 81. Senior Gabe Kramer also carded a 78 and tied for 30th.

Belka missed landing medalist honors by two shots which was earned by Coe College's Tyler Santi, who moved up one spot after a 4-over round of 75.  Iowa Lakes's Adrien Pradaut was the clubhouse leader after an opening round of 3-under 68 on Saturday, but dropped one spot on Sunday after his six-over round of 77.

Coe College took home the team title after holding off Wartburg College by three strokes. The Knights had the low round at 295. BVU finished at 308 and dropped one spot from a tie for third after the first 18 holes.
