Men's Golf in Contention at MVC Championship

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa - - Belmont University men's golf stands in third place after 36 holes of play Monday in the 2025 Missouri Valley Conference Men's Golf Championship from Des Moines Country Club.
 
Belmont carded team rounds of 294 and 287 to enter Tuesday's final round within striking distance of Murray State and Illinois State.
 
The Bruins' 287 team total in round two tied for the second-best round of the season; Belmont posted a 284 in round two of The Peoples Championship in March.
