Final Results

DULUTH, Ga. – Senior Linus Lo notched his fourth straight top-25 finish as WKU placed 10th at the Autotrader Collegiate Classic hosted by Georgia State on Tuesday. The Hilltoppers recorded a final round score of 9-over 297 for a 54-hole total of 875 at the par-72, 6,694-yard Berkeley Hills Country Club.

After starting the Classic with a 5-under 67, Lo tied for 11th, his fourth top-25 finish out of the four tournaments WKU has competed in. He carded a final round 2-over 74 to finish with a 54-hole total of 2-under 214.

Senior Tom Bevington led the squad in the final round after shooting an even-par 72. He finished the 54-hole event at 3-over and just outside the top 25 as he tied for 26th.

Junior Chase Landrum finished with the third best final round and 54-hole total out of all the Hilltoppers. The junior shot a 3-over 75 in the final round to tie for 45th overall. Caleb O'Toole also finished tied for 45th with a total 7-over 223 after recording a final round 76.

Finishing tied for 67th was junior Jack Poole after carding an 80 in the final round. Luke Fuller competed as an individual and finished 76th.

James Madison took home the team title with a score of 20-under 844. Nolan Ray of Lipscomb won the individual championship after shooting a 14-under 202.

"We are not satisfied with our play this week as a whole," said head coach Chan Metts of the performance. "Our par-5 play was probably the one area that sticks out where we have to improve on it in order to get what we want and expect, which is to be in contention. The one thing I have said over and over to this group is what happens when we get knocked down will define us. We have been knocked down a few time this season and they have responded like I expect every time."

WKU will wrap up its fall season on Monday as it travels to Kennesaw State for the Pinetree Intercollegiate.

"We have another opportunity in front of us this week Kennesaw and that is what we will focus on now. Improving our wedge play and par 5 play. We will get back to work and be ready on Monday morning in Georgia, again."
