2.22.22 | Men's Golf
HILTON HEAD, S.C. – Temple Golf finished in eighth place in the 17-team field at the Wexford Plantation Intercollegiate Tuesday. The Owls improved seven strokes from the second round to finish the day with a four-over 292.
Recapping the Round
> Junior co-captain Conor McGrath led the Owls again, as he finished the round with a one-under 71. McGrath shot a two-over 218 for the tournament to tie for 13th overall.
> Junior Buddy Hansen started the round with bogeys on three out of the first five holes but rebounded with two birdies for a one-over 73. He finished the tournament tied for 31st with a six-over 222.
> Sophomore Graham Chase improved four strokes from the second round to finish with a one-over 73. He tied for 37th overall.
> Senior co-captain Dawson Anders shot three-over 75 to finish the tournament tied for 57th overall.
> Freshman Ethan Whitney had a team-high five birdies in the round, but two double bogeys and a triple bogey pushed him to a five-over 77 on the day. Whitney tied with Anders for 57th overall.
The Field
> Host Francis Marion (866) had a great final round holding off Furman (867) to win the tournament by one stroke. Augusta (870), ECU (871), and Mercer (871) round out the top five.
> Mercer's Tobias Jonsson shot four-under 212 to win the tournament by one stroke over his teammate Martin Plukka.
Quotable: Head coach Brian Quinn
> "We made some mental mistakes and struggled around the greens. Overall, I was pleased with our ball striking and our attitude. Golf is an incredibly tough game, coming from the cold and not having the opportunity to play outside is a tough position to compete on all cylinders."
> "Conor played well enough to win, Buddy was real solid in a couple of the rounds. Overall, we need to continue to work hard, grind on our short games and trust our work. If we do that some really good golf is right around the corner."
Up Next
> Temple will take the next week off before returning to play on March 7-8 at the Cleveland Golf Palmetto Intercollegiate at Palmetto Golf Course in Aiken, S.C.
