Gardner-Webb Ties For Seventh At Charleston Southern Fall Invitational
October 24, 2007 | Men's Golf
CHARLESTON, S.C. – After being in sixth place after the first day of competition, the Gardner-Webb men's golf team faltered in the final round and dropped into a tie for seventh on the final day of the Charleston Southern Fall Invitational.
Part of the problem could be attributed to the weather, as conditions were significantly more difficult than the previous day.
GWU tied with fellow Atlantic Sun Conference member Jacksonville for seventh. Each team shot a 912, with the Bulldogs shooting four more strokes than the Dolphins in the final round, resulting in the tie.
GWU was led by Blake Palmer's sixth-place finish, as he notched a three-round total of 222. Palmer shot a seven-over par on the final day, 10 strokes more than he shot in the second round.
The only other Bulldog to post a top-20 score was Andrew Rickard. Rickard, rather consistent throughout the tournament, shot a four-over par, 76, over the final 18 holes. His three-round score was a 225.
The men's team is back in action Nov. 4-5 at the WCU Intercollegiate, which is hosted by the Catamounts.
