STATESBORO, Ga. – The UAB men's golf team fell two spots on the final day of the Schenkel Invitational and finished in a tie for 11th place at Forest Heights Country Club in Georgia.
Sophomore Murray Naysmith and senior R.J. Keur each shot a +2 on Sunday and finished the tournament at even par to lead the Blazers as they both tied for 32nd overall. Naysmith (71-71-74 = 216, E) has now led UAB in each of the last two tournaments, while this was Keur's fifth tournament this season at or under par.
William Walker III was UAB's third finisher as he shot a +2 overall (75-70-73 = 218) and finished tied for 43rd overall.
John Hayden shot a one under on the final 18 holes and moved up 15 spots on the final day of competition to finish in a tie for 56th place at +5 overall (73-77-71 = 221). Senior Taylor Eyster, playing in his first tournament of the spring, finished in a tie for 73rd at +10 to round out the UAB roster.
Freshman Nick Robillard competed as an individual for the Blazers and had his best collegiate tournament to date. Robillard would have been UAB's top finisher if competing in the top five as he shot one under for the tournament and played consistent golf the entire weekend by shooting 72-71-72 = 215, -1.
No. 5 Vanderbilt ran away with the team title at -27 collectively, while Theo Humphrey of Vandy birdied his final two holes to break a four-way tie for first place as he claimed the title at -13, while Jake Storey (Georgia Southern), Stephen Franken (NC State) and Archie Price (Georgia Southern) all tied for second at -11.
The Blazers continue action next Monday and Tuesday, March 26-27 at The Duck Invitational in Eugene, Ore.
