GREENVILLE, N.C. – Old Dominion men’s golf finished in sixth place following Tuesday’s final round at the ECU Intercollegiate.
The Monarchs combined for a 44-over par 908 after three rounds at Brook Valley Country Club. Quin Covington led the team with a five-over 221 to place 13th overall. It marked the first career Top-15 finish for the freshman from Cary, North Carolina. Covington bookended a second round of one-over 73 with a couple of 74s and made eight birdies and 34 putts for par throughout the tournament.
“The team played solidly on a difficult golf course with difficult weather conditions, and we got another impressive outing by Quin. The improvements are continuing to show,” said ODU associate head coach Barry Marple.
Cullen Campbell and Kaijun Ma both tied for 29th with a couple of 11-over par 227s. Ma opened the Intercollegiate with a two-under 70, ODU’s lone round under par, thanks to four birdies on Sunday, to include three on the front nine. He was three-under at the turn and carded a one-over 37 on the back nine for his first lap around the course.
Jakub Sutor was next, his 17-over 233 placing him 54th, and Heath Stout rounded out the scorecard with a 29-over 245 to tie for 77th.
UNCW finished atop the team standings with a combined four-over par 868. The host Pirates came in second with a 14-over 878, and St. John’s rounded out the top three with a 21-over 885. UNCW’s Gray Mitchum earned individual medalist honors with a three-under 213, Barton’s Ryan Jahr was the runner-up with an even score of 216, and UNCW’s Ethan Boyette took third place with a two-over 218.
The Monarchs will wrap up the month at ECU’s Cutter Creek Intercollegiate, which the Pirates are hosting on March 27-29 at Cutter Creek Golf Club in Snow Hill, North Carolina.
