RALEIGH, N.C. – A final round 289 helped the Elon University men's golf team finished 11th at the Wolfpack Intercollegiate on Sunday. NC State hosted the tournament at the 7,282-yard, par-72 Lonnie Poole Golf Course.
Elon finished the tournament with a 54-hole score of 883 (+19). Chattanooga won the tournament with a 17-under par 847, including a 16-under par final round of 272. Lipscomb and NC State finished tied for second with an 8-under par 856.
"Clearly, we didn't play to our expectations but that doesn't mean there weren't some positives to be taken from the weekend," head coach
Don Hill said. "Garrett continued his stellar play. I'm so proud of Juan's growth. Cristian also played another solid final round. We now have 12 days to prepare for UNCG. We have some areas to fine tune and, most importantly, we need to get rested both mentally and physically. This week will make us better in the long run."
