JONESBORO, Ark.?The Privateers of New Orleans claimed the team title to the 10th Annual ASU Indian Classic on Tuesday on the second playoff hole against Oral Roberts while Northern Iowa's Derek Bohlen was medalist after a final round of 71.
UNO and ORU finished regulation knotted at 895 thanks to a 296 by ORU, the lowest team round of the day. Both teams remained tied after playing the 17th hole before the Privateers won on the 18th in the playoff.
The Indians moved up two spots to finish fifth overall after shooting 301 Tuesday. All five team players for the Tribe ended at 228, all tying for 24th individually.
“I can't say that I've ever seen that kind of consistency before from a team where everyone shoots the same final score,” said Arkansas State head coach Neil Abel. “We shot ourselves in the foot in the first round of the tournament but really made a good charge to get back into it. We lost some strokes on some bad luck today, but with the wind blowing like it was, everyone was having problems out there.”
ASU battled from 13th after the end of the first round on Monday to pull into a tie for seventh after the second round. Tuesday's round jumped the Indians up two more spots and ended the tournament two strokes out of third and just eight out of first.
Andrew Ross' 72 was the lowest round of the day for the Tribe and left him in a eight-way tie for 24th at 228. Nick Crisco added a 77, Ryan Knoll shot 76, Will Little posted a 78 and Lance Avants scored a 76 to also tie for 24th.
Little tied for the top honors in birdies made with Bohlen with 13. Avants tied with Amrith deSoysa of Louisiana Tech for the most pars made over the three rounds.
“It really seems like one hole each round each day for each player takes us out of the hunt,” said Abel. “We need to play smarter and limit those mistakes, mostly mental mistakes, and we'll be the team we know we can be.”
A total of 15 teams plus three golfers from Tulane comprised the field while a total of 84 golfers battled for medalist honors. With UNO's team victory, they become the fifth different team over the last five years to win the team title.
