SUNSET BEACH, N.C. - The school records continue to fall for the William and Mary men’s golf team, as it finished the Sea Trail Intercollegiate with a best-ever 54-hole score of 856 (8-under), good for fourth place in the 19-team field. Elon easily outpaced the field, winning by 18-strokes over Murray State. The Tribe finished only one shot behind third-place Bethune-Cookman College. South Carolina-Upstate’s Josh Gallman outlasted his competitors for the individual medal with a three-day effort of 10-under (206).
Complete Final Results
Senior Jonas Miller (Dallas, Texas) was as steady as rock all weekend for the Tribe, shooting his third-consecutive round of 70 to finish with 210 (6-under) and move into a tie for eighth. In addition to recording his first-career top-10 finish, Miller tied the school record for best 54-hole score, set 12 days ago by teammate Brent Paladino (Kensington, Conn.).
Paladino also closed with 70 today, finishing in a tie for 11th at 211 (-5). That score is the third-best in school history. Freshman Conor O’Brien (Weatogue, Conn.) tied for 30 at 217 (+1), after shooting 74 on Sunday. Senior Jimmy Femino (Manassas, Va.) shot an even-par 72 to move up into a tie for 50th, and junior Doug Hurson (Bethesda, Md.) rounded out the Tribe’s showing in a tie for 60th.
The College returns to the links in three weeks at the Belmont Invitational, October 15-16 in Nashville, Tennessee.
