GREENVILLE, S.C. - After three rounds, the Marshall men's golf team finished the Furman Intercollegiate at 16th place with a score of 41-over 903 on Sunday afternoon.
"Alex Weiss had another good tournament and almost had another top 10 finish," head coach Matt Grobe said. "The weather was tough today and we really should have played better. We didn't take advantage of our opportunities. We have a lot of work to do over the next two weeks."
Senior golfer Alex Weiss finished in a tie for 11th place with a score of 1-under 215 to lead the Herd. Weiss' score of 3-under on Par 4s led the field, while he also finished all par 5s with a score of 3-under. The senior's 13 birdies were good for a tie for third among all participants.
Behind Weiss were Ben Roeder and Will Straub, who finished with scores of 14-over 230 and in ties for 76th place. Junior golfer Thomas Frazier had the best improvement on the third day, as his score of 76 in round three was second to only Weiss among MU golfers.
It was a clean sweep for No. 28 North Florida as it took home both team and individual honors. The Ospreys defeated West Virginia by 19 strokes and an overall score of 17-under 847. Among the individuals, North Florida's Phillip Knowles took home the championship with a score of 9-under 207, while the Osperys' Andrew Alligood took home runner-up honors.
