Coastal Carolina men’s golf carded three team rounds of 282 over the weekend
Jonesborough, Tenn. – For the third-straight day, the Coastal Carolina men's golf team carded a team score of 282, -6 under par, to finish eighth overall with a 54-hole team score of 846, -18 under par, at the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate held at the Blackthorn Club at the Ridges in Jonesborough, Tenn.
CCU's eighth-place finish was led by senior States Fort who placed in a tie for 10th overall with his 54-hole individual score of 209, -7 under par.
Coastal finished one stroke behind both Furman (845, -19) and NC State (845, -19) and just five strokes out of the top five on the team leaderboard.
No. 12 Louisville (830, -34) won the 2019 event, while host East Tennessee State (835, -29), No. 16 Tennessee (837, -27), Ole Miss (841, -23) and UNCW (843, -21) rounded out the top five.
"Same results again today, as we got in a good spot and dropped four shots coming in. We did exactly that on all three rounds. It's frustrating because it was so close to being a really good week," said head coach Jim Garren. "A nice final round by States today and a solid week for him overall. We've got to get much better with our putting and short game overall. That'll be our focus these next two weeks. We just aren't getting the ball in the hole."
Capping off his weekend with a final round 68, -4 under par, on Sunday was Fort. Combined with his first two rounds of 70 and 71, the senior finished the three-day event in a tie for 10th-place overall with a 54-hole score of 209, -7 under par. The Georgia native had two birdies and an eagle on the front nine to overcome one bogey and then totaled eight pars and one birdie on the back nine on his way to his lowest round of the fall season.
Fellow senior Zack Taylor had his consecutive streak of sub-par rounds snapped at seven on Sunday, as he shot a third-round 73, +1, to finish the tournament in a tie for 18th-place overall with a final score of 211, -5 under par. The Pittsburgh, Pa. native tallied three birdies, two bogeys and one double-bogey on the final 18 holes of play.
Freshman Seth Taylor stayed steady on day three, posting a final round 71, -1 under par, after shooting rounds of 71 and 72 over the first two rounds of play to finish in a tie for 32nd-place overall with his 54-hole score of 214, -2 under par. Seth Taylor tied for a team-high six birdies on Sunday, to go along with three bogeys and one double-bogey.
Turning in the second-best score on the day for the Chants on Sunday was sophomore Brady Hinkle with a final round 70, -2 under par. Hinkle dropped four strokes off his second-round 74 and combined with his first-round 72, even par, he finished the three-day event at 216, even par, and in a tie for 39th overall. Hinkle matched Seth Taylor with a team-best six birdies on the day.
Rounding out the lineup was freshman Gavin Noble with his final round of 73, +1. Noble finished the tournament tied for 39th overall with a 54-hole score of 216, even par, by way of a 73, 70 and 73. The first-year Chant registered three birdies and three bogeys on Sunday to shoot his lowest-54-hole score as a Chant to date.
Like Hinkle, Connor Newton dropped four shots off his second-round score of 78, +6, and matched his first-round score of 74, +2, on Sunday to place in a tie for 71st overall with his 54-hole score of 226, +10.
Coastal will wrap up its 2019 fall season at the Saint Mary's Invitational on Nov. 4-6 at the Poppy Hills Golf Club in Pebble Beach, Calif.
