Crown Point senior Yianni Kostouros stood on the practice green, shaking his head. “I’m probably going to lose off of that 2-footer I just missed,” he said. “I’m not too happy.” He was right. On the final hole, Kostouros missed that short putt for par, finishing with a 75 in Saturday’s 59th annual Lou Iaconetti Memorial Invitational held at the Palmira Golf Club in St. John.
