BOONVILLE, Mo. – There were playoffs, playoffs and yet more playoffs after the final round of the 2017 Heart of America Athletic Conference Men's Golf Championship on Tuesday here at Hail Ridge Golf Course. But when all the dust had settled – and there wasn't much after eight inches of rain fell before the tourney – Grand View University captured the team title and the Vikings' Mitch Pfingsten took Medalist honors. GVU clinched a spot in the NAIA National Championship with the win.

There was much excitement at the end of the third round when Pfingsten and William Penn University's Zachary Chegwidden were tied with identical 1-under-par 212 scores. The two golfers went back out on the course to settle the matter, starting with the 10th hole. Pfingsten won the hole and the title. Chegwidden grabbed second, Sergio Garcia of Mount Mercy University shot a 3-over-par 216 to place third, Myles Pfingsten of Grand View and Hunter Baggett of Culver-Stockton College tied for the fourth spot with identical 9-over-par 222 scores.
