INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Junior Josh Kirkham finished in the top 20 for the sixth time this season, tying for 12th at the Butler Spring Invitational, where Bradley Men's Golf finished 11th in the 12-team standings.

Kirkham finished one shot out of the top 10 and was four strokes behind individual tri-medalists James Hill (Detroit Mercy), Anthony Delisanti (Valparaiso) and Luke Armburst (Illinois), firing a four-over 74 on the final day of action at the par-70 Highland Golf and Country Club to tie for 12th overall at 143. His two-round total of 143 tied for the 10th-best 36-hole score in school history.

Bradley shot 307 as a team Tuesday, slipping to 11th in the team standings at 598 as the Braves matched the 11th-best, 36-hole team score in program history. The Braves were three back of 10th-place Indian Hills (595) and finished nine shots out of a tie for eighth between Green Bay and Evansville (589). Valparaiso won the team title by six strokes at 569 over tournament-host Butler (575) with Morehead State following in third at 576.

Transfer Aaeri Krishnan was two strokes from earning his third top-20 finish of the season, tying for 27th overall at 147 after turning in a final-round 76. A second-round 77 helped Nick Armbrust finish at 152 in a tie for 61st, while fellow junior Roy Radke fired an 80 on the final day to tie for 86th at 156.

Sophomore Brady Kreiter tied for 88th at 157, posting a final-round 81 to round out Bradley's team scoring.

In the field as an individual, junior John Stillman matched the low round of his career with a 72 Tuesday. Stillman's 72 on the final day helped him vault up 31 spots in the standings into a tie for 43rd (149).

Bradley returns to action April 11-12 in Omaha, Neb., at the Stampede at the Creek in the team's final outing before the Missouri Valley Conference Championship in late April.
