Host wins Poplar Bluff Invitational

The Mules finished at 306 as a team followed by Notre Dame (232) and Dexter (327).

Hillis, who earned medalist honors last year at even-par 71, carded four birdies and five bogeys. Vernon had just one birdie, on the par-5 18th, to finish second.

Clearwater's Tanner McKinney birdied each of his first three holes and made the turn at even-par before a bloody nose brought on by allergies slowed him on the back 9. He finished third at 74, two strokes in front of Dexter's Chance Holden, who hit out of bounds on No. 9 and ended up with a triple bogey that wiped out three birdies.
