MEN’S GOLF FINISHES 14TH AT CARTER PLANTATION

 
 
 
GAME DAY CENTRAL

SPRINGFIELD, LA. - - Belmont men's golf completed a tough week late Tuesday, placing 14th in the Carter Plantation Intercollegiate hosted by Southeastern Louisiana University.

The Bruins simply could not solve the 7,049 yard Par 72 Carter Plantation layout, a pristine layout laden with hazards at every turn. Cool temperatures and gusty winds also reaked havoc, but Belmont simply did not bring its A-game.

Belmont's 54-hole total of 951 (309-317-325, +87) was well behind the lead pack; in fact 70 strokes behind team champion Middle Tennessee State at 881.

Junior Danny Amundson (Sioux Falls, S.D.) - who entered the final round among the leaders - shot a final round six over par 78 to finish T-12 (73-75-78=226, +10).

But as was the case the opening two rounds Monday, no Bruin teammate joined Amundson with consistent play. Sophomore Scott O'Brien (Brookings, S.D.) shot a final round 80 to place T-44 (77-81-80=238, +22). Sophomore Stuart Ashwood (Northampton, England) came home in 82 to place T-54 (80-78-82=240, +24).

Sophomore Simon Marshall (North Yorkshire, England) shot a final round 85 to place 71st (79-84-85=248, +32). Freshman Daniel Smith (Bournemouth, Dorset Co., England) carded a final round 88 to finish 76th (82-83-88=253, +37).

Rick Cochran of Middle Tennessee State earned medalist honors with a 54-hole total of 215 (-1).

Belmont returns to the links March 31 in the Larry Nelson Collegiate Invitational hosted by Kennesaw State.
