LORTON, Va. -- The Old Dominion men's golf team fired a 3-under par final round to overtake leader Eastern Kentucky to win the 2016 Patriot Intercollegiate Championship on Monday at Laurel Hill Golf Club.
In a two-team race, EKU led the Monarchs by five strokes heading into the third and final round, but ODU recorded a 3-under round, while Eastern Kentucky shot a 4-over round, giving ODU the team championship.
All five competing Monarchs placed in the top 25 of the 110-person field. Individual runner-up David Langley (-4) led a total of three Monarchs in the top 10, as Antonio Cruz-Conde (E) finished in a tie for sixth and Michael Bakker (+2) tied for ninth. Rounding out the ODU lineup were Casper Aneman (T20, +6) and Calvin Greschner (T24, +7).
Eastern Kentucky's Erik Lindwall (-6) captured the individual title.
The championship is the first for the Monarchs since winning the GolfWeek Program Challenge Championship in the fall of 2014.
The final team score of -3 is also the second-lowest team total in the history of the Patriot Intercollegiate. 2015 champ Western Florida holds the tournament record with a -5 team total.
ODU returns to action Oct. 3-4 at the Firestone Intercollegiate in Akron, Ohio.
