FARMINGTON, Pa. (EMUEagles.com) -- Three members of the Eastern Michigan University men's golf team combined to capture individual titles at two different tournaments that were played simultaneously at the same resort, Oct. 5-6, as Vicente Quiroga finished a three-way tie for medalist honors in the Nemacolin Collegiate Invitational while Felipe Suarez and Robby Turnbull shared the top spot at the Shepherd's Rock Individual. The events, both hosted by West Virginia inside the Nemacolin Woodland Resort in Farmington, Pa., saw Quiroga guide the team to a second-place finish on the Mystic Course while Suarez and Turnbull won their crowns on the Shepherd's Rock Course.
How It Happened • Nemacolin Collegiate
At the Nemacolin Collegiate Invitational, played on the Mystic Rock Course, Eastern Michigan shot Even-par 864 (287-298-279) over 54 holes to finish second among 16 teams as Seton Hall won the event at 1-under 863 (297-287-279), edging the Eagles by a single stroke, while host West Virginia finished third at 5-over 869. Both the Eagles and Pirates moved up two spots in the final standings as each fired rounds of 9-under, the lowest of any round in the tournament.
Leading the charge in that final round was Quiroga (Cochabamba, Bolivia/Tiquipaya School), who fired a 9-under 63 to tie the program record for the lowest single round. His 63 matched the mark set by Charlie Box (Leicester, England/Wreake Valley Academy/Hutchinson CC) exactly one year earlier at the West Bay Collegiate after he tied Tim Chan, who was the first to record the mark while playing in the 2024 White Sands Bahamas Invitational. Quiroga rallied from tied for 22nd after two rounds to finish tied for first individually at 5-under 211 (73-75-63), sharing medalist honors with Seton Hall's Will Hennessee and Auburn's Hampton Beebe. It marked his best collegiate finish after tying for 11th at the Highlands Invitational two weeks earlier and stood as the 27th medalist honor earned by a member of the program since the 1980-81 season.
Parin Sarasmut (Bangkok, Thailand/Srinakharinwirot) was the Green and White's other standout in the team event, finishing tied for sixth individually at 2-under 214 (71-73-70). Sarasmut was steady throughout, posting rounds at or under par in rounds one and three to contribute significantly to EMU's team score across all three days. His finish marked his second career top 10 showing after he tied for second at the season-opening Bombs Darts Birds Collegiate in college debut.
Box finished tied for 29th at 6-over 222 (71-74-77) while Arsit Areephun (Chiang Rai, Thailand/Samakkhivittayakhom/Delaware) finished tied for 35th at 8-over 224 (72-79-73) and Joshua Hess (Schattdorf, Switzerland/Montverde Academy (Fla.)) tied for 45th at 10-over 226 (77-76-73).
How It Happened • Shepherd's Rock Individual
At the concurrent Shepherd's Rock Individual, which featured 14 total players in the field and did not feature team scoring, Eastern Michigan swept the top two spots and placed three players in the top five. Turnbull (Auckland, New Zealand/Selwyn College) and Suarez (Cordoba, Argentina/La Santisima Trinidad/Missouri Valley College) each finished at 6-under 210, sharing co-medalist honors. The wins marked the 25th and 26th medalist finishes in program history and gave Turnbull his first collegiate win while Suarez captured his first as an NCAA Division I player after winning five times with NAIA Missouri Valley last year. Ben Sessions (Dunmow, Essex, UK/The Bishop's Stortford) added a fifth-place finish at 5-over 221 (73-74-74), giving EMU three players in the top five of the individual tournament.
Individual Notes
» Vicente Quiroga's shared title at the Nemacolin Collegiate Invitational marked the 27th medalist honor earned by an Eastern player since the 1980-81 season and was the first in a team event since Charlie Box won the 36-hole Muirfield Shootout (April 20, 2026) last season. Quiroga also posted the first individual 54-hole win since Box captured the West Bay Collegiate Invitational one year ago.
» Felipe Suarez and Robby Turnbull were the top two through all three rounds and earned medalist honors for the program for the 25th and 26th times, respectively, since 1980-81. The wins also stand as the first in a non-team-scored event for the program.
» Of the three winners, two are in their first seasons at Eastern, including first-year player Vicente Quiroga and transfer Felipe Suarez, while Suarez and Robby Turnbull are both in their second collegiate seasons.
» The three individual wins on the same day were historic as Eastern had never had teammates share titles at the same event, let alone have medalists in multiple events on the same day. The three wins tied for the second-most in a single season (since 1980-81) with the 2006-07 squad that saw Christopher Ross win the Cleveland State Invitational before Graham Hill won both the FirstEnergy Intercollegiate and the MAC Championships.
» The final round 63 Vicente Quiroga shot not only tied the program's single-round low, but also came exactly one year since Charlie Box tied the mark with his second-round 63 at the West Bay Collegiate Invitational in Estero, Fla. The duo joined Tim Chan, who set the mark at the White Sands Bahamas Invitational, Oct. 26, 2024, to take down the top spot from five individuals (Korey Mahoney, Cam Burke twice, Nic Ross, Kyle Rodes, and Tyler Lewis) who combined to shoot 64 on six occasions.
Up Next
The final event of the five-tournament fall schedule awaits Eastern Michigan in two weeks when the Eagles head to Jonesborough, Tenn., to compete in the Bank of Tennessee Invitational, Oct. 19-21. The three-day event will be hosted by East Tennessee State at Blackthorn Country Club.
