ROCKY FACE, Ga. – The Kennesaw State men’s golf team wrapped up the Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic in ninth after posting a 54-hole score 301-288-290=879, +15 at the Farm Golf Club.
"This week was not what we had hoped for, but it was a good test in our first event to see where we stacked up against some of the best teams in the country," head coach Jay Moseley said. "The greens gave us trouble all week. If we had putted halfway decent we could have easily been in contention to win. I was very pleased with our play from tee to green so we will build off that and work on our putting between now and our next event in two weeks."
Senior Matt Nagy was the low Owl of the tournament placing t-17, shooting a 75-70-71=216, even par over the course of three days. Nagy finished tied for third in par-5 scoring with and average of 4.42, -7, including two eagles on the long holes.
