tournament low round of 289 in the second round to claim the
championship at the Seventh Annual Kiawah Island Invitational at

GCSU finished the final round with a total team score of 585
(292-293) to conclude the event in third place behind second-place

584 (293-291).
Pfeiffer’s Luiz Jacintho and Barton’s Daniel Claytor
both ended their two rounds in a tie for first place individually

emerged as the individual medalist with a birdie on the fourth
playoff hole.
