AUBURN, AL. – The Elon University men's golf completed the final day at the Tiger Invitational firing a round-low 297 (+9) in the final round to finish tied for third with fellow CAA foe UNCW. No. 1 Auburn is hosting the tournament at the par-72, 7,591-yard Auburn University Club in Auburn, AL. 
 

Elon finished with a 54-hole total of 902 (+38). No.1 Auburn won the tournament with a 16-over par 880 while Florida Gulf Coast University placed second with an 895 (-31).   
 

This week was an absolute battle. I can't recall an individual medalist shooting 5 over par in a final round and still winning. Not to mention, the number 1 ranked team in the country shooting 16 over par at home and winning. Those numbers really speak to how good our guys played in round 1 to co-lead the tournament and then to bounce back with the low final round of the tournament to cap off a top-3 team finish. 
 

Garrett has been excellent all year. To see Bronson get rewarded for his hard work is so satisfying as a coach. He's dedicated himself at a new level this year and specifically this semester. I really like where we're headed as a team and I'm excited to see how we can build off our play this week.
