GREENVILLE, S.C. – The Davidson men's golf team concluded play in the 42nd Annual Furman Intercollegiate Sunday afternoon at the Furman University Golf Club, placing 17th in a strong 22-team field with a three-round score of 905 (304+295+306).
Sophomore John Skeadas led the Wildcats for the tournament by tying for 34th place at 221. Skeadas slipped out of the top 10 individually after firing a seven-over-par 79 Sunday. He opened the tournament with a three-under-par 69 Friday and a one-over 73 Saturday.
Junior Jackson Taylor posted the top final-round score for Davidson with a three-over 75. He finished in a tie for 63rd at 227 (79+73+75).
Freshman Sam Echikson finished two strokes back at 229 (77+74+78), while classmate Richard Fountain followed at 232 (79+77+76). Senior Bobby Urso finished one stroke back at 233 (81+75+77) to round out the 'Cats' contingent.
No. 42 Clemson (287-289-272=848) fired a tournament record round of 272 (-16) to clinch its second straight Furman Intercollegiate title on the par-72, 6,994-yard course, while No. 37 Purdue's William Sjaichudin (65-69-72=206) claimed individual medalist honors. There were five top-50 teams in the tournament.
Freshman Thomas Bradshaw (72-73-64=209) matched the tournament's single round record and set a new competitive record at the Furman Golf Club, renovated three years ago, by shooting an eight-under 64 to rally the Tigers from a four-stroke deficit after 36 holes to a 12-stroke victory.
Clemson's Crawford Reeves (73-73-68=214) and McCuen Elmore (75-72-69=216) totaled rounds of 68 and 69, respectively, to power the Tigers past second-place Kennesaw State (-4) and third-place No. 45 Virginia Tech (-2). East Carolina (867) was fourth while Southern Conference foes Furman (873) and No. 47 Chattanooga (873) took fifth and sixth, respectively. Wofford (888, ninth), Elon (900, 14th), Western Carolina (904, 16th) and Samford (909, t-19th) completed the SoCon field.
Davidson will close the regular season at the Irish Creek Collegiate April 9-10, co-hosting with Charlotte in conjunction with the Charlotte Sports Commission at The Club at Irish Creek in Kannapolis. In addition to the Wildcats and 49ers, North Carolina, Duke, and Wake Forest will be among the competitors in the 2011 field.
