Final Results
GREENVILLE, S.C. – The No. 36-ranked Kennesaw State men's golf team's bid for a second tournament victory during the 2013-14 season fell short as it found difficulty coming down the stretch and had to settle for a third place finish at the 17-team Furman Intercollegiate that concluded Sunday at the par-72, 6,994-yard Furman University Golf Course in Greenville, S.C.
The Owls shot 4-over par on the back nine and finished the 36-hole event with a 2-under par 862, seven shots behind Georgia State and No. 10 Virginia Tech. The Panthers and Hokies tied for first with a 9-under par totals of 855 after a shooting final-round 1-under par score of 287.
"It was a disappointing finish but we can use this experience to help us down the road," Kennesaw State head coach
Jay Moseley said. "In my opinion, we were the best team this week but we have to perform better because we are capable of much more than we showed."
Junior
Jimmy Beck shot a closing-round even-par 72 to finish at 4-under par 212 and tie for fourth, seven shots behind individual medalist Trevor Cone of Virginia Tech who totaled an 11-under par 205. Georgia State's J.J. Grey finished second with a 10-under par 206.
