WEST CHICAGO, Ill. – Kaiden Dopp (Sr.-Wild Rose, Wis.) shot a collegiate-low round of 72 and posted his best individual finish as a collegian to pace the Lakeland University men's golf team at the Benedictine University Eagle Invite Tuesday at St. Andrews Golf and Country Club.

Dopp tied for sixth individually for his first top-10 finish as a Muskie, shooting a round of even-par to finish two strokes off the lead trio of Wheaton (Ill.) University's Wyatt Brown, Freddie Chan and Luke Pringle. He also led Lakeland to an 11th-place finish out of 21 teams in the one-day event at the par-72, 6,810-yard course.

Dopp shot a steady, consistent round that included two birdies but also only two bogeys to go with 14 pars. He picked up his two birdies in a four-hole stretch on the back nine holes, first with a four on the par-5, 531-yard 14th hole and then on the par-4, 418-yard 17th hole. He bested by one stroke his previous best low score of 73 set last year at the Midwest Region Classic Sept. 19, 2025.

Brandon Bloechel (Sr.-Sheboygan, Wis.) also snuck into the top 25, finishing in a tie for 24th with a round of four-over 76. Bloechel birdied the par-5, 485-yard eighth hole and then shot four again on the par-5, 490-yard 10th hole.

Parker Braun (Sr.-Brillion, Wis.) finished with an 81 to tie for 66th, posting a 41 on the front nine and 40 on the back, including his lone birdie on the 10th hole. Carter Koch (So.-Oconto, Wis.) finished with a round of 85 with two birdies, including the eighth hole as well as the par-4 fifth. Ayden Long (Jr.-Oostburg, Wis.) finished with a score of 87 including a birdie on the par-3, 169-yard third hole.

Wheaton won the team title with a score of 286, finishing ahead of North Park (Ill.) University and Aurora University in second with a 293.
