DALTON, Ga. – The Kennesaw State men's golf team wrapped up play at the season-opening Carpet Capital Collegiate with a 10th-place finish following Sunday's third round at the par-72, 7,012-yard The Farm Golf Club in Dalton, Ga.
 
The Owls, who opened the 2015-16 campaign under new head coach Bryant Odom, posted a final-round 22-over par 310 total to conclude the 54-hole event with a 42-over par score of 906. Auburn captured the 15-team event with a 4-over par total of 868 to finish nine shots in front of second-place Clemson (877).
 
South Carolina (880, +16) placed third and was followed by defending national champion LSU (883, +19) and host Georgia Tech (885, +21) who rounded out the top five.
 
"Our finish was obviously not what we wanted but we can walk away with some good experiences to begin the season," Odom said. "The conditions were some of the toughest we will see all year and we still held our own against some of the top teams in the nation. I am proud of our efforts and toughness even when it wasn't going our way. We have all this week to improve before the Rees Jones Invitational next weekend."
 
Junior Teremoana Beaucousin (74-76-76) and sophomore Fredrik Nilehn (75-74-77) were the top finishers for Kennesaw State after tying for 27th with 10-over par totals of 226.

Georgia Tech's Jacob Joiner claimed individual medalist honors with a 4-under par total of 212 to finish one shot ahead of Clemson teammates Austin Langdale and Stephen Behr, who recorded 3-under par scores of 213.
 
Kennesaw State will next be in action on Sunday (Sept. 20) when it opens play at the Rees Jones Invitational in Daufuskie Island, S.C.
