ROCHELLE — Freshman Tyler Picken tied for fourth overall and the Carl Sandburg College men's golf team shot a season-low as it took second at the Kougars Invite on Friday at Fairways Golf Course.

Picken finished with a 2-over-4 74 to tie Highland's Bjorn Van Wassem for fourth place. Picken was one shot back of third, three back of second place and five behind medalist Riku Moriyama of Highland, who posted a 3-under 69.
