Final Scoreboard

GREENVILLE, N.C. - Senior Ethan Whitney matched a school record with an 18-hole round of seven-under par and the Temple golf team broke a single-round school mark with a 14-under par 274 to round out the final day of action at the Ironwood Collegiate Classic on Tuesday.

Whitney's round featured seven birdies, 11 pars and zero bogeys to match an over 50-year record set by Walter Brown at the 1973 Yale Invitational. Whitney, who finished fifth individually, helped the Owls to a team score of 274 to break the 18-hole mark of 276 (par 70) set in 2013 at The Doc Glimmer Tournament. The 14-under par round also set a new standard that had previously been -11 -- set twice, last at the Golfweek Fall Challenge in 2011.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Whitney's unblemished round featured a back-nine score of five-under par 31 and a front nine tally of 34.
The senior's round of 65 set a new personal best round as a collegiate player, set twice over his first two years as an Owl.
Junior Aidan Emmerich also put an impressive round for Temple, carding five birdies and a single bogey to close at four-under par 68.
Senior Joey Morganti matched Whitney's seven birdies en route to a three-under par round of 69.
Playing as an individual, sophomore Michael Vital put together a one-under par round of 71, a six-shot improvement on his first-day score.
Morganti's classmate Michael Walsh, who entered the round in the top 10 individually, registered 16 pars and finished with an even-par 72.
Jake Naese rounded out the Temple contingent with a one-over par 73.
As a team, the Owls' round of -14 was the third-best round of any team in the tournament, only behind LIU's -20 and host East Carolina's -18.
ECU earned a two-shot team victory over LIU, finishing the 36-hole event at 28-under par.
Individually, Florida Atlantic's Biagio Gagliardi earned medalist honors by three strokes at -13.
