BURLINGTON, N.C. - Coming off a school-record setting final-round showing at the Ironwood Collegiate Classic two weeks ago, the Temple golf team looks to keep momentum rolling at another event in North Carolina, the Elon Phoenix Invitational, beginning Monday, October 14.
The 54-hole event will be played at the Alamance Country Club, a Donald Ross-designed course. Two rounds totaling 36 holes are scheduled to be played on Monday, with the final 18 set for Tuesday.

ABOUT THE OWLS
- Temple bounced back from a tough first round at the Ironwood Collegiate Classic, hosted by East Carolina, shooting a final-round 274 (-14) to set a new 18-hole school scoring record.
- The total score bested a mark set previously by the Owls at the Doc Glimmer (276) in 2013, and the to-par score of -14 also set a new standard that was originally set all the way back in 1982 at the ODU Invitational (-11).
- Individually, senior Ethan Whitney performed beautifully, matching a school record with a round of seven-under par.
- Whitney's second-round 65 was a personal collegiate best and his -7 tied Walter Brown's record that he set at the Yale Invitational in 1973.
- As a team, five players shot par or better on the day -- Whitney (65), Aidan Emmerich (68), Joey Morganti (69), Michael Vital (71), and Michael Walsh (72).
- Whitney's performance was good for a tie for fifth individually at -8 for the tournament, while Walsh tied for 22nd at -3.
- Overall, the Owls tallied 26 birdies across six players during round two of the Ironwood Collegiate Classic.
- In addition to Elon and Temple, the 18-team field consists of Appalachian State, Queens University, UNC Greensboro, Gardner-Webb, Jacksonville, North Carolina A&T, Old Dominion, Radford, East Carolina, LIU, Longwood, Middle Tennessee State, Presbyterian, Dartmouth, Francis Marion, and UConn.
