SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. – With a six-over par 294 on Wednesday, Old Dominion men’s golf moved up three spots in the team standings to finish 15th at the Babygrande Golf Donald Ross Collegiate.
“Not the result we wanted,” said ODU associate head coach Barry Marple. “But the team had a better day today despite the windy conditions, especially Quin Covington. The team showed a lot of determination and talent and is looking forward to our next event at East Carolina.”
The Monarchs entered the day sitting in 18th following an opening round of 297 on Monday and a second round of 301 on Tuesday. The final push on Wednesday saw ODU end the three-day tournament with a combined 28-over par 892.
Cullen Campbell and Covington both tied for 45th place with a pair of six-over 222s. Campbell’s best round was a one-under 71 on Tuesday, and Covington shot a 71 on Wednesday. Jakub Sutor and Kaijun Ma were next, tying for 56th with a couple of eight-over 224s. Heath Stout rounded out ODU’s scorecard with a 20-over 236, tying him for 92nd.
Richmond turned in a six-under 858 to capture the team title, George Mason came in second with a three-under 861, and James Madison and George Washington tied for third at two-under 862. Individual medalist honors went to Richmond’s Carson Baez, Bowling Green’s Pedro Garcia, and VCU’s Carson Looney. All three went six-under with a trio of 210s.
The Monarchs will be back in North Carolina next week when they travel to Greenville to play in the ECU Intercollegiate, hosted by the Pirates at Brook Valley Country Club on Monday and Tuesday, March 16-17.
