Straka, a senior for the Bulldogs, dropped a 6&5 decision to Derek Bard on Thursday at Olympia Fields Country Club.

Straka won the first hole, but Bard answered by taking Nos. 4-6, 8-9 and 12-13.

Straka was the final Bulldog in the tournament as fellow senior Lee McCoy and sophomore Zach Healy were eliminated earlier.
