Men’s golf posts season-best scores over weekend

The Marshall University men’s golf team finished in a tie for 11th place in a 19-school field Sunday in the Furman Intercollegiate in Greenville, South Carolina

The Herd’s total carded score of 287 in the final round Sunday was the team’s best single-day performance of the 2016 spring season, and it vaulted the Herd from a 14th place standing when the day began to its tie for 11th.

However, the Herd played well for the duration of the tournament, which spanned 54 holes, posting an 872 for the three-round event to earn its best 54-hole score of the season.

Senior Logan Lagodich led the Herd individually, finishing in 17th place for the tournament in a field that included 115 players. Lagodich shot a 2-under 214 for the tournament to capture his third top-20 finish if the season.

Lagodich shot a 5-under 67 on the opening day of the tournament, but gave back five strokes on the second day to fall out of red numbers. Lagodich responded in the final round as he shot a 2-under 70.

Alex Weiss finished in a tie for 21st, shooting a 216 for the tournament to finish at even par.
