Chattanooga Finishes 6th at Furman Intercollegiate

| By:

GREENVILLE, S.C.---The Chattanooga men's golf team moved up to a sixth-place finish at the Furman Intercollegiate after today's one-over par 289.  The Mocs shot 878, 14 over, for the three-day event.

Chattanooga shot minus one over its final 36 holes as today's 289 was tied for fourth lowest.  Yesterday's 286 was the low Saturday round and the one-under par total over the last two rounds was second best in the 22-team field.

"I'm really proud of the way we played over the last two days," said head coach Mark Guhne.  "We showed what we are capable of, but now we have to show it for three rounds.  The last two times out we've been really good for 36 holes."

Stephan Jaeger (Munich, Germany) posted his second top 10 in the last three tournaments tying for 10th at one-under par 215.  Jaeger shot level par 72 for his Sunday round with one birdie, 16 pars and a bogey.

Davis Bunn (Knoxville, Tenn.) had the low final round for Guhne's five-some firing a minus-two 70.  Bunn was solid with three birdies, 14 pars and a single bogey.

Jaeger and Bunn helped the Mocs move up two spots on the leaderboard from eighth to start the day.  Chattanooga ended one shot ahead of Purdue and Gardner-Webb overtaking the duo beating them by seven and six strokes, respectively.

Benjamin Weilguni (Langelois, Austria) had the rollercoaster round of the day.  Weilguni tallied an eagle and six birdies but shot 74 (+2) due to just three pars.  He finished tied for 24th at 218 (+2), while Bunn tied for 34th shooting plus five, 221.

Chris Robb (Aberdeenshire, Scotland) rounded out the team scoring with a 73 (+1) despite battling migraine symptoms over his final six holes.  He tied for 51st at 225 (+9).  Steven Fox (Hendersonville, Tenn.) had the drop score with a 75 (+3) to wind up tied for 59th one shot behind Robb at 226.

Clemson defended its title shooting a tournament-record round of 272, 16-under par, today.  The Tigers came-from-behind to pass second round leaders Kennesaw State and Virginia Tech.  KSU ended up second at 860 (-4), while the Hokies came in third (862).

Purdue's William Sjaichudin captured medalist honors holding off East Carolina's Harold Varner by a stroke.  Sjaichudin shot -10 for 54 holes with an even-par 72 in the final round.  Varner's 70 (-2) gave him a total of 207, minus nine.

The Mocs return to action next Sunday, March 27, for the first round of the Linger Longer Invitational.  The event is played at the Reynolds Plantation Great Waters Course in Greensboro, Ga.  Live scoring can be found on GoMocs.com.
