Golf Ties for Eighth at Firestone Invitational

10.2.18 | Men's Golf

AKRON, Ohio – Senior Trey Wren shot a two-under 70 to lead Temple in its final round of the Firestone Invitational.  Wren, who finished tied for 12th with redshirt senior John Barone at one-under 215, helped the Owls move up two spots on the final day to tie Old Dominion and Ball State for eighth among the 17-team field at the par-72, 7,125-yard Firestone Country Club's North Course.

Recapping the Day
  • Wren, who had his best 54-hole score since shooting a one-under 212 at the Visit Stockton Pacific Invite (10/27-29/16), tied for the fifth best round Tuesday among the 90 golfers.  He had four birdies and an eagle on the par-5, 534-yard seventh hole.
  • Barone, who was four-under entering the day, shot a three-over 75.
  • Senior Gary McCabe carded his best round of the tournament, a one-over 73 to tie for 47th with a six-over 222.
  • Redshirt junior Erik Reisner recovered from a tough 79 in his afternoon round Monday to card a two-over 74.  He finished tied with freshman Conor McGrath for 60th with a nine-over 225.
The Field
  • Akron won the team championship with an 857, besting Furman (856) by one stroke.  The Owls finished with an 872.
  • Ohio's Zach Crawford earned medalist honors, shooting a 10-under 206.
Quotable
  •  "We are just not finishing," said Temple head golf coach Brian Quinn.  "This is the by far the most talented team I have ever had, but we need to learn how to finish a round.  We are just frustrated at this point,"
Notes
  • On finishing, Temple was eight over for the last three holes of the second round Monday, and five over for the last two holes today.
  • The Owls also struggled on par 3s, shooting a dismal 22-over for the tournament.

Next
  • The Owls travel to Lewisburg, Pa. to compete at the Bucknell Invitational, Oct. 8-9.
