Coastal Carolina men’s golf posted back-to-back rounds of 282 on Monday and Tuesday
Madison, Wis. – Led by three top-25 individual finishes, the Chanticleers posted a final round of 282, -6 under par, for the second-straight day on Tuesday to finish the 2019 Badger Invitational in sixth-place overall with a 54-hole team score of 864, even par.
Coastal Carolina posted rounds of 300, 282 and 282 to move from 15th after day up to sixth-place after the final round of play on Tuesday.
Notre Dame ran away from the tournament field with a final round of 274, -14 under par, to finish first overall with a 54-hole team score of 842, -22 under par.
Kansas (856, -8), Mississippi (858, -6), Illinois State (861, -3) and Nevada (862, -2) rounded out the top-five and were the four other teams ahead of CCU for the week.
"We had a nice effort today. That last hole hurts because it cost us a few spots on the leaderboard. Overall a solid start to the season. I'm proud of the way we bounced back and how we handled the adversity of being on the road so long with the evacuation," stated head coach Jim Garren. "A big-time round out of Seth today. His first time playing up north and at his level. Really good stuff today and a solid week overall."
Zack Taylor led the Chants with a 54-hole score of 213, -3 under par, to finish in a tie for 13th overall. The senior posted rounds of 73, 70 and 70 en route to his top-15 finish. After a second-round 70, -4 under par, on Monday, Taylor carded six birdies and nine pars for his final round 70. He finished the three days of play with 13 birdies and one eagle overall.
Saving his best for last, Seth Taylor turned in a final round of 68, -4 under par, on Tuesday to finish his first intercollegiate tournament in a tie for 21st-place overall with a three-round score of 216, even par. The freshman followed up back-to-back rounds of 74, +2, with a CCU-low round 68 on Tuesday which included five birdies and 12 pars overall. He finished with 10 birdies and one eagle for the week.
Just one stroke back of Seth Taylor was fellow Chant States Fort with his final score of 217, +1. Fort recorded rounds of 77, 68 and 72 to place in a tie for 24th overall. His final round consisted of three birdies and 13 pars, giving him eight birdies for the season-opening event.
Sophomores Connor Newton and Brady Hinkle posted final rounds of 73, +1, and 72, even par, respectively. Newton finished with rounds of 77, 70 and 73 for a 54-hole score of 220, +4, and a 36th-place showing, while Hinkle registered scores of 76, 76 and 72 to finish in a tie for 58th overall with his 54-hole score of 224, +8.
Coastal will return to action on Sept. 27-28, as the Chants head west for the William H. Tucker Intercollegiate hosted by New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
