Jones finished tied for 10th overall
KETTERING, Ohio – The Marshall men's golf team finished its 2019-20 fall season with a fourth place finish at the Dayton Flyer Invitational, Tuesday afternoon from the NCR Golf Course. Freshman Tyler Jones scored a 1-under 70 in the final round and finished 10th overall.
"Really happy with the way the guys finished off the fall," Herd head coach Matt Grobe said. "Tyler (Jones) played a great round of golf today and finished off a wonderful fall for him. Cameron (Root) played really consistently this week and had a nice finish. Brad (Plaziak) hit the ball great this week.
"I also saw a lot of great things from the rest of the guys. Looking forward to this off season so we can start improving on the things we need to get better for the spring."
Jones stayed consistent throughout the final round, with just two bogeys, and three birdies that helped him move into the top 10. Redshirt junior Cameron Root improved by three shots from the second to the third round.
Wright State held on for the team award despite having a rough third round with a team score of 11-over, 295. The Raiders finished five strokes ahead of Cleveland State as the Vikings had the best team score in the final round with a 4-over 288. It was a three-way tie for the top spot on the player leaderboard and so a two-hole playoff was played. Jules Blakely of Cleveland State defeated his teammate Jack Haus and Mikkel Mathiesen of Wright State to take the individual title.
