The Govs shot a three-round 899 (294-307-298) to finish 25 shots behind tourney winner Central Arkansas’s three-round 874. Host San Francisco finished second (893) followed by Weber State (894) and Austin Peay, while Columbia and Longwood (906) tied for fifth.

Freshman Marco Iten led the Govs with a 14th-place finish, shooting a three-round (74-75-75) 224. Iten was even through his first nine, but shot five-over par on the final nine holes. In fact, it was the same stretch the blistered the Govs in second round play. Iten’s double-bogey on No. 13 put him at three-over par and two more bogeys set up his final-round 75.

Sophomore Dustin Korte trailed Iten by one stroke, finishing t-19th (70-80-75=225). Korte had the Govs only under-par round of the tournament Freshman Anthony Bradley, in his first spring tournament, was only a stroke back of Korte, t-22nd (75-75-76=226).

Freshman Trey Tarpley (78-77-74=229) and senior Luke Sherrod (75-83-74=232) rounded out the Govs efforts. In fact, Tarpley and Sherrod each shot final-round 74s, accounting for two of the Govs counting scores in the final round.
