JACKSON, Tenn. - Junior’s Jared Steger and Kyle Peterman each grabbed top-10 finishes to pace the Western Illinois men’s golf team as it tied for third place at the Grover Page Classic hosted by Tennessee-Martin.

Steger finished six shots off the lead as he carded a two-round score of 146 (72-74) to give him a share of fifth place individually and to pace the Leathernecks. One shot behind his teammate was Peterman with a 147 (76-71), who tied for eighth place.
