Men's Golf Climbs To Third At Charlotte
October 24, 2005 | Men's Golf
The host 49ers claimed first place in their own event, while Davidson finished second. Ball State passed both Michigan and Long Beach State on the final day to finish third.
The tournament was played at the Carrabus Country Club in Charlotte, N.C.
"The 302 team score doesn't look all that appealing," said BSU head coach Mike Fleck. "But, in all honesty, it was a very good score in tough conditions today. We wanted to move up into the top three when we started the day and we did that. To finish in the top three with the caliber of teams that competed, is a nice way to end the fall season. We did a good job"
Nine of the 16 teams are ranked in either Golfstat or Golf Weekly's Top 100, including Charlotte (#36-GS/#37-GW), Michigan (#47/#60), Jacksonville State (#61/#56), Marquette (#68/#71), Long Beach State (#84/#92), Elon (#91/#81), Campbell (#90 - GW), Ohio (#92 - GS) and Saint Louis (#100 - GS).
