GAINESVILLE, GA – The Trojans wrapped up the Mizuno Intercollegiate on Tuesday, finishing 1th overall in the field. Of the ten teams ahead of Anderson, all but one are ranked Top-25 nationally.
"While we didn't play our best golf this week, we showed some good signs of things to come," said Head Men's Golf Coach Austin Castles. "Just got off to a slow start and struggled to recover. It was an honor to play in one of the best fields in DII golf again this week."
Anderson opened the tournament shooting a +8 opening round but improved to shoot an even second round and +4 closing round.
"Simon was huge for us again and put together a really solid week," added Castles.
Simon Wright (Lancaster, SC) finished 30th in the field, shooting 73-69-73 to end the tournament at –1. Luke Sullivan (Columbia, SC) carded rounds of 76-70-71 to finish +1 in 38th place.
"Can's round of even par in round one was massive, and Luke came up big in rounds two and three."
Jamie Markwick, Can Gurdenli and Sam McMillan finished +6, +8 and +13 respectively.
"It was a group effort. We'll continue to work and get better each day. We look forward to getting right back after it his week in Greenville at Fall Bearcat Classic."
