MOBILE, Ala. (EMUEagles.com) – Eastern Michigan University senior Patrick Deardorff (Clarkston, Mich.-Clarkston) recorded his second career top-10 finish Tuesday, March 26, at the Mobile Bay Intercollegiate hosted by the University of South Alabama. The Clarkston, Mich., native closed with an even-par 71 to finish the event with a 213 (72-70-71). The three-day mark is the lowest 54-hole tally of his career, bettering a 214 he notched earlier this year at the Loyola Invitational, Feb. 25-27.
As a team, Eastern finished 10th with a tally of 877 (287-296-294) on the par 71 Magnolia Grove Golf Course. Texas State (843) and Illinois State (847) battled back and forth, as the two schools were the only ones under par for the tournament and held a 13-stroke lead on the remainder of the field. Oral Roberts (860), Loyola Maryland (863), Valparaiso (864), South Alabama (867), UCF (868), Georgia State (871), Western Kentucky (876), EMU (877), Eastern Kentucky (878), Loyola Chicago (883), DePaul (886), and Dayton (891) rounded out the field in the tournament.
The schools started the third round on Monday, March 25, to attempt to avoid potential bad weather on Tuesday and got part of the way through the round before it was stopped because of darkness.
How It Happened
Behind Deardorff, senior Cam Kellett (London, Ontario/Saint Thomas Aquinas/Nevada) posted rounds of 69, 69, and 76 to finish tied 15th with a one-over 214. Freshman Avery Mahoney (Burlington, Ontario/Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School) added a 226 (73-78-75) in a tie for 61st. Junior Zander Gibson (Concord, Ohio/Notre Dame Cathedral Latin/Rider) and sophomore Nathaniel Gray Lamont (Guelph, Ontario/Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute) notched a 229 to tie for 68th.
