SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University men's golf team turned in the lowest team score of Tuesday's third round to shoot up six positions to finish in sixth place in a challenging field at the Ross Collegiate Classic. Head Coach Bruce Cunningham's squad notched a six-under 282 in the final round, two strokes better than the next closest score of 284 fired by Loyola-Chicago. EMU finished with a two-day total of 879 (301-296-282) on the par 72, 6,657-yard Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club.
The team finished 25 strokes behind Loyola (Md.), which captured the team title with a 10-under 854. Miami took second place with a nine-under 855, while the RedHawks' Brett Podobinksi was the individual champion at seven-under 209 and teammate Danny Fisher carded a 210 to grab runner-up honors. The RedHawks also had Morgan Blythe tie for third alongside Xavier's Zach Burton as both posted final scores of 211.
Senior Cam Kellett (London, Ontario/Saint Thomas Aquinas/Nevada) continued his strong spring, finishing in a tie for fifth place with a three-day total of 212 (71-71-69). The London, Ontario, native's showing marked Kellett's fifth top-five finish during his EMU career.
