The Marshall University men’s golf team finished fifth Tuesday at the third annual Greenbrier Collegiate Invitational with its best 54-hole score of the spring season (870) to close out its regular season.

Aside from Marshall, 16 other teams competed in the invitational, including Conference USA opponents Middle Tennessee State University, Western Kentucky University and Old Dominion University.

East Tennessee State University won the tournament for the second consecutive year with an 846 team score.

Old Dominion’s Nick Rencis took the individual medal at 3-under 207, two strokes ahead of Adrian Meronk of East Tennessee State.

Marshall junior Will Evans placed ninth in the two-day event, shooting a 2-over-par 72 on the final 18 holes to total 4-over 214 for the tournament, tying for ninth place with five other golfers. It was his second top 10 finish of the season after carding a runner-up spot at the Joe Feaganes Marshall Invitational last year.

Marshall head coach Matt Grobe said he liked the way his team finished out the regular season.

“I really like the way the guys are playing,” Grobe said. “We have played better each tournament this spring and have built some good momentum.”

Grobe said he is looking forward to compete in the C-USA Championships, which begins April 24.

The championship is four days with 18 holes scheduled for the first three days.

After 54 holes of stroke play, the top four teams will be seeded and will conclude the championship on the fourth day with a match-play playoff.

Playing partners for the first day will be determined by a blind draw.
