JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. - Piedmont men's golf saved its best round for last, as play concluded at the Jekyll Island Collegiate Invitational on Sunday afternoon.

For the second consecutive day, the Lions were led by a 1-under 71, this time from Connor Lane. The senior made four birdies on his round, with all coming on par-3's. Lane went out in even par 36 and came in at 1-under 35 for the 71.

 

Adam Rogers paced the Lions on the individual leaderboard, delivering a t-29th finish with a rock solid even par 72, his second 72 of the weekend. Rogers made two birdies and two bogeys on the day.

Fresh off a 1-under 71, Jacob DeJesus backed that up with a 2-over 74 highlighted by a birdie at the last, the par-5 18th.

Doug Gugel delivered the team's final counting score, with a 5-over 77 and his lone birdie coming on the final hole.

Caleb Vancil carded a 6-over 78 but also birdied the par-5 18th, one of two birdies on his round.

As a team, the Lions jumped up two spots into a solo 15th place finish out of 30 teams on the leaderboard. The team improved its score by two strokes every round, going from a 298 in the first to 296 in the second and then a 294 final round score.

COACH'S CORNER:
"I think this week was a great week for our team. It's the best three rounds we've put together so far in the spring. As a coach and a player, you look to get better every day, and we did. In every round we were faced with a decision to give up or fight and that's what we did. All three of our rounds we could've have succumbed to the doubt but we chose defiance. In doing so we beat some of the best teams in the country. I'm excited about where we're headed." - Head Coach Dustin Meadows
