GREENSBORO, N.C. – Elon University men's golf finished in ninth place following the final round of the Grandover Collegiate on Monday, Oct. 28. UNCG hosted the two-day tournament at the Grandover Resort in Greensboro, N.C. The Collegiate marked the final event of Elon's fall schedule.
The team combined for a 24-over 312 through the final 18 holes for a three-round total of 941. The Spartans won their annual fall tournament for the second year in a row with a 12-over 876. Rutgers took second place with an 885 (+21), and Appalachian State was third with an 891 (+27).
"Grandover proved to be a tough course for us to play this week," said head coach
Don Hill. "Definitely not how we wanted to finish our fall, but we'll take it as a learning opportunity. We've got a couple months now to prepare for our spring season and work on our game."
