Jakub Sutor rounded out the lineup with a round of 80 to finish 70th with a 54-hole total of 235 (+19).
“We were very disappointed with our finish in the tournament. We had some adverse weather and had to go back out numerous times in some bad situations and the guys did not respond very well,” said ODU Head Coach Murray Rudisill.
