Sauerbrei defeated Marshall junior Shawn Warren in a playoff to win medalist honors. Sauerbrei shot a final-round 68 to finish at 213 (75-70-68) and force a playoff with Warren, who also fired a final-round 68. Saurbrei birdied number 10, the first playoff hole, to claim medalist honors over Warren. The first place finish was Sauerbrei’s best in his three-year EMU career.
Eastern Michigan next takes to the course April 22-23 at the Rutherford Intercollegiate in University Park, Pa.
