The University of Southern Indiana men’s golf team wrapped up The Grover Paige Classic with a fifth-place finish on Tuesday afternoon.
The Classic, hosted by the University of Tennessee at Martin, was the Screaming Eagles’ first action of the spring season.
Freshman Zach Williams (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) led group of five with a three-round performance of 224 (+8), good for t-12th. Williams’ third-round score of 73 (+1) was the lowest among the Eagles as well.
Junior Zach Breault (Bridgeport, Illinois) kept a competitive fire on Williams from second for USI in the two-day event. Breault finished just three strokes away (227) from Williams in total, good for t-21st.
Junior K.O. Taylor (Madisonville, Kentucky), sophomore Nate Caudle (Wayne City, Illinois) and junior Trevis Bell (Madisonville, Kentucky) finished rounded out the USI squad in order, with scores of 234 (+18), 236 (+20), and 239 (+23), respectively.
By complete coincidence, Taylor, Bell and Caudle all finished the second round with a 77 to close Monday’s slate, then followed by all posting an 80 in Tuesday morning’s third round.
USI Men’s Golf heads to the Otter Creek Golf Course in Columbus, Indiana on March 31 for the University of Wisconsin-Parkside’s Spring Invitational.
