BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. – The Marshall men's golf team played a great final round of the Mountaineer Invitational on Tuesday at the Pete Dye Golf Club. The Herd moved up five places to finish fifth overall.
The Thundering Herd tied the host West Virginia Mountaineers with the best final round team score with a 13-under, 275. It was a 29-stroke improvement for Marshall from the second to the third round, as the Herd was tied for 10th at the end of the second.
"Today was a great day for us," Herd head coach Matt Grobe said. "I thought we would play better today but I was pleasantly surprised by their play. This team fights to the very end and today was so much fun to watch as a coach. Noah (Mullens) finished a good week with a strong round today. Tyler (Jones) finished great, making five birdies in his last seven holes. Ryan (Bilby) got off to a hot start and finished off a solid 67. Brett (Montgomery) had seven birdies in a really good round of 71. It was a great experience today and we are looking forward to Dayton in a couple of weeks."

The freshman shot up 23 places on the leaderboard with the nine-stroke improvement and finished tied for 29th.
