SNOW HILL, N.C. – Old Dominion men’s golf finished seventh in the team standings and Quin Covington took 12th in the individual standings following Sunday’s final round at the Cutter Creek Intercollegiate.
“Another solid performance from the team and once again a great result from Quin,” said ODU associate head coach Barry Marple. “Still plenty to work on as we get ready for next week, but overall impressive performance by the guys.”
It marked the second-straight Top-15 finish for Covington, the freshman out of Cary, North Carolina. He started off the three-day tournament with an even 72 in Friday’s opening round, tallying five birdies with four of them coming on the front nine. Covington followed with a four-over 76 on Saturday, though he did eagle the par-5 second hole. He then rounded out the Intercollegiate with a four-under 68 on Sunday, making another six birdie putts, to end up with an even score of 216.
Jakub Sutor tied for 31st with a seven-over par 223. He began the tournament strong with a three-under 69, but followed with a pair of 77s. A final round of 71 helped Kaijun Ma tie for 47th at 11-over 227. Cullen Campbell also saved his best round for last, turning in a 70 on Sunday to tie for 51st at 12-over 228. Joe MacPherson tied for 64th with a 16-over 232, and Heath Stout rounded out ODU’s scores with a 20-over 236 to tie for 77th.
As a team, the Monarchs combined for a 19-over par 883, just two strokes back of Gardner-Webb in sixth place. Elon and Campbell split the team title after both programs finished at nine-under with a couple of 855s, and East Carolina took third place with a seven-under 857. Elon’s William Car captured individual medalist honors with an eight-under 208, and Campbell’s Joachim Larsen Tegner was the runner-up at seven-under 209.
The Monarchs round out their regular season at next week’s Irish Creek Collegiate. App State is hosting the two-day tournament at The Club at Irish Creek in Kannapolis, North Carolina on Monday and Tuesday, April 6-7.
