Results

BURLINGTON, N.C. – Senior Trey Wren extended his school-record streak of sub-70 rounds to five Tuesday with a two-under 69 to tie for second at the Phoenix Invitational. The senior golfer teamed with redshirt senior John Barone, who shot a six-under 65, to lead Temple to a third place finish at the 18-team Phoenix Invitational. Wren also tied the Temple records for 54-hole score with a 204 and for lowest under-par 54-hole tournament at nine-under.

Barone rebounded from an uncharacteristic 77 in yesterday's second round with his career-best round. It was also the lowest score for the tournament and tied for the third lowest round in Temple history.

Recapping the Day

Wren was one over after the front nine, but closed strong with four birdies against a lone bogey in the back nine to keep his streak alive. He led the field with 18 birdies for the tournament with eight coming on par 5 holes.
Barone, who finished tied for 21^st with a one-over 214, was back to his old self, firing nine birdies on the day. A double bogey on the par 4 seventh and a bogey on the par 4 11^th prevented him from moving past Walter Brown's school record of 63 set in 1973 at the Yale Invitational.
Senior Sam Soeth had his best outing of the season, shooting an even par 71 on the day. He finished tied for 58^th with a seven-over 220.
Redshirt junior Erik Reisner carded a 75 and finished tied for 46^th overall (+5, 218) while junior Gary McCabe (t69, 222) shot a 78 for his final round.

The Field

Host Elon (843) won the tournament, besting Ohio (848) by five strokes and Temple (849) by six.
The Owls shot a four-under 280 on the day, the second best round behind Ohio's 279.
