Oct 10, 2017 | Men's Golf
COLLEGE GROVE, Tenn. - On the final day of the Franklin American Mortgage Company (FAMC) Intercollegiate at the Grove, the Memphis Tigers climbed a place in the standings, ending the tournament in 11th place overall.
Georgia Tech shot a round-low for the second consecutive round, carding a 279 (-9) to take the tournament title at 852 (-12). Ole Miss (-4), Kennesaw State (+10), Middle Tennessee (+10), and Liberty (+17) rounded out the top five teams in the field.
Brad Bawden led the charge for the Tigers in the final round, including a six hole stretch in which he was four strokes under par. Opening on the back nine on the 7,368-yard par-72 course, Bawden started with three consecutive pars before he bogeyed his fourth hole of the day - No. 13 overall on the course.
Starting on his sixth hole, he had four birdies over a six hole stretch to go from a stroke above par to three strokes under par. He closed his round with two bogeys, a birdie, and a par, to go into the clubhouse at two strokes under par with the 70. His 70 on the day dropped his overall score to +10 for the tournament, which is tied for 34th in the field.
Freshman Borja Martin had a strong start to the day before stumbling down the stretch. He opened play with five consecutive pars, before birdies on the 15th and 16th holes dropped him two two strokes under par. A bogey heading into the turn sent him to one stroke under par through nine holes.
Another birdie on his 11th hole put him back to two strokes under par; however, a bogey a hole later, followed by a triple bogey on the sixth hole put Borja at two strokes over par. He birdied the seventh hole, as a double bogey and par put him at four strokes over par for the round. Overall, his +17 for the tournament tied him for 51st in the field.
Rodi Vlasveld ended with the team's highest overall individual finish with a +6 which is tied for 26th in the tournament. Vlasveld had a consistent round, with four bogeys and 14 pars, ending the day at +4 with a 76.
The team's fourth and final scorer in the final round was Nick Giles, whose seven-over 79 put him at +30 for the tournament, and in 66th place. Chase Harris carded a 10-over 82 on the day, and his +32 for the three days put him 67th overall.
Playing as an individual, Colin Dubnik's round of 86 put him at +22 for the tournament, tied for 62nd individually.
Memphis returns to action on October 29-31 when the team travels to Kiawah Island, South Carolina, to compete in the Kiawah Classic at Turtle Point Golf Club.
