NORFOLK, Va. – The Old Dominion men's golf team will be spending this upcoming weekend competing in the Pinehurst Intercollegiate in Pinehurst, N.C. 
 
The Monarchs started their spring slate of tournaments with a fourth-place showing at the Martin Downs Collegiate three weeks ago. It was their fourth top-five finish of the season. Gustav Fransson led the way for ODU with a 9-under 207, finishing in sixth place of the field of 94 golfers. It was Fransson's third-straight top-10 showing. Senior Carter Morgan also performed well in Palm City, Fla., placing in a tie for 11th with a 5-under 211. 
 
So far this season, Fransson leads the Monarchs with a 70.1 average round score, followed by Morgan's mark of 70.8.
 
The Pinehurst Intercollegiate will be played at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club's No. 8 course, which is a par-71, 6,937-yard layout. Out of the 13-team field, ODU is the highest-ranked team competing in Pinehurst this weekend, checking in a 122 according to the latest Golfstat team rankings.
