Final Results
PINEHURST, N.C. - Sophomore Clark Robinson (South Windsor, Conn.) surged on the final day of the Pinehurst Intercollegiate to lead Marshall men's golf to a runner-up finish on Sunday at Pinehurst No. 8.
Robinson had his best day of the 54-hole tournament with a 1-over-par 72, bringing his three-day total to 13-over 226 and tying for fourth place with Bryce Johnson of William & Mary. Junior Logan Lagodich (Canton, Ohio) finished next in line for the Herd with a 15-over 228, tying for sixth.
As a team, Marshall moved up from third on Day 2 to place second in the 11-team field at 66-over 918. In total, the Herd carded the most pars of any team with 163, and dominated par-5 scoring with a 3-over 5.07 average. Lagodich had the tournament's best individual average on par 5 holes at 3-under 4.67.
Marshall's second-place finish tied its best placement of the season, and its best since Robinson and the Herd were runners-up at the Patriot Intercollegiate on Sept. 29, 2014.
ON THE LEADERBOARD
Led by individual champion Ashton Van Horne (1-over 214), Belmont placed first with a 48-over 900, 18 strokes ahead of the Herd.
GABBING WITH GROBE
Quotes by coach Matt Grobe:
On summarizing the weekend:
"We had two great days. We just put ourselves way too far back after the opening round. Clark [Robinson] had a great final round and hit the ball really well. We played good golf this weekend but still have a long way to go so it will be nice to get back to Huntington and get to work."
