DECATUR, Ill. —March 24, 2026—The Parkland College men's golf team delivered a solid performance at the two-day Dan Salisbury Memorial Invitational, hosted by the University of Illinois Springfield, finishing 6th overall out of 14 teams with a combined score of 589 (+13).

Leif Olson led the way for the Cobras with an outstanding tournament, firing rounds of 70 (-2) and 71 (-1) to finish in a tie for first place. Olson ultimately placed second overall after falling on the second hole of a playoff, capping off one of the top individual performances of the event.

Cal Johnson placed 32nd with rounds of 75 and 74, while Will Seman finished 37th (78, 72). Peter Slot came in 44th (74, 77), followed by Oscar Jarl in 51st (76, 77) and Ian VanEtten in 62nd (77, 79).

Head Coach Nick Berger reflected on the team's performance, saying:

 "Very proud of the effort that was given by the team. Still some things to work on, however we are moving in the right direction. We are focusing on our process as we continue to build towards the post-season. I am very proud of Leif. He played some really great golf during this event. A lot of positives to take away from him. Tough losing a playoff for an individual medalist but a great learning experience for him."

Up next, Parkland will travel to Bloomington, Illinois on March 30 for the Cougar Shootout.
