Bohannon fires 71 at CRANDIC golf

If Jordan Bohannon ever gets tired of playing basketball for the Iowa Hawkeyes, he might be able to change sports and play a few rounds for the University of Iowa golf team.

He's got a good touch on a golf course, too.

Bohannon fired a 1-under-par 71 Tuesday and finished second at the annual CRANDIC meet at Gardner Golf Course with the best competitive round of his life.

The Linn-Mar senior committed to play basketball for the Hawkeyes about two weeks ago and feels like a free man now. It translated onto the luscious green grass at Gardner.

"I was just playing good," Bohannon said. "I don't have a lot of stress after committing to Iowa.

"It was a lot of weight on my shoulders, just trying to figure out where to go for college. It kind of affected my personal life. I feel a big weight off my shoulders now."
