URBANA, Ill. (EMUEagles.com) – Eastern Michigan University junior Patrick Deardorff (Clarkston, Mich.-Clarkston) recorded his first career top-10 finish Sunday, April 23, in star-studded field at the Fighting Illini Spring Collegiate hosted by the University of Illinois. The Clarkston, Mich., native closed with a three-under 68 to finish the event with a 218 (76-74-68). The two-day mark is tied for the second lowest 54-hole tally of his career, as he edged a pair of nationally ranked golfers en route to the strong showing.
As a team, Eastern finished eighth with a tally of 912 (305-302-305) at the Atkins Golf Club. The Green and White finished 10 shots ahead of cross-county rival Michigan, which notched a 922.
The No. 3-ranked Fighting Illini men's golf team pulled away for a convincing win in the inaugural event at the team's newly renovated home course. Illinois' Adrien Dumont de Chassart notched a two shot victory over Northwestern's Daniel Svard finishing with a seven-under 206 (72-66-68).
How It Happened
Deardorff totalled eight birdies over the course of the weekend, tied for eighth-most at the event. The Clarkston, Mich., native finished tied for ninth, one shot better than No. 61 Jackson Buchanan of Illinois and 11 strokes in front of No. 29 Drew Salyers of Indiana.
Senior Cam Kellett (London, Ontario-Saint Thomas Aquinas-Nevada) and freshman Ryan Somerville (Aurora, Ontario-Aurora) tied for 31st with a 228. Kellett ranked second in scoring average on par 5 holes with a 4.56 (-4), while Somerville ranked fifth in the event with 39 pars over the 54 holes.
