The leading Iowa Wesleyan player was freshman James Lennox from Yorkshire who came fourth with 77 and 75 for 152. It was his second top-10 finish.
Ben Hanson (St Ambrose) won with a one-under-par total of 143 (74-69).
St Ambrose, who provided the top three finishers, won the team event with 598 ahead of Grand View (617) and Iowa Wesleyan (621) in a field of 11 teams.
Adam Lindsay's dad Eric, a very good golfer in his younger days, went out to the States to pay his son a visit recently. Eric, incidentally, sponsors the boys and girls' tournament through his company, Platform 2.
