JUPITER, Fla. – Old Dominion men’s golf rounded out the final round of the Florida Atlantic Invitational on Tuesday at The Bear’s Club.
The Monarchs combined for a 34-over par 898 to place 11th in the team standings.
“Obviously a difficult week for us. We played on a different kind of golf course and we got our butt kicked. We just have to keep working hard and keep going. We can immediately turn it around next week in Greenville,” said ODU head coach Austin Phillips.
Joe MacPherson led ODU for the second tournament in a row, tying for 36th with a 54-hole total of three-over par 219. The Aberlady, Scotland native had the lone round in the 60s for the Silver and Blue, a four-under 68 for his second lap around the course.
Roman Roth was next with a six-over 222 to tie for 49th. Quin Covington tied for 58th at 13-over 229, Jakub Sutor recorded a 15-over 231 to finish 61st, and Heath Stout rounded out ODU’s scorecard with a 23-over 239 to come in 62nd.
Sutor had two of the team’s three eagles over the two days in Jupiter, Florida. The third year from Bystrice, Czech Republic made his second shot on the par-4 12th hole during the opening round on Monday morning. He also eagled the par-5 10th hole during the third round. MacPherson recorded the other eagle during the second round on Monday afternoon, sinking his third shot on the par-5 eighth hole.
The host Owls edged North Florida by one stroke to win their own tournament, carding a 27-under par 837. Stetson rounded out the top three at 23-under 841. The Hatters’ Uy Doan earned individual medalist honors after going 14-under par with a 202 total. FAU’s NaShawn Tyson posted an 11-under 205 to secure runner-up, while Florida’s Parker Severs and Jackson Ormond both shot 10-under 206s to tie for third.
The team’s next tournament will be the Ironwood Collegiate Classic, which East Carolina is hosting on Sept. 28-29 at Ironwood Golf & Country Club in Greenville, N.C.
