CINCINNATI, Ohio – College of Charleston sophomore Michael Sass (Louisville, Ky.) was the top finisher for the Cougars shooting a final-round 73 to tie for 26th (+1) at the 2017 Bearcat Invitational held at the Coldstream Country Club.
Â
On the final day, Sass birdied the 5th, 13th and 15th at the par-71 course. Sophomore Logan Sowell (Kershaw, S.C.) fired a 1-under 70 in the final round with three birdies to finish tied for 47th (+6).
Â
As a team, the Cougars carded a three-round score of 871 (+19) and placed 12th overall in a field comprised of SEC and Big Ten competition. Kentucky won the team title with an 820 (-32) edging runner-up Arkansas by six strokes (-26).
Â
"This was a tough week and start to the season," CofC Head Coach Mark McEntire said. "I truly did not know what to expect. We have some new faces and we played like a very young team. Our course management was not good, and as we are looking to find the identity of this team, course management has to be very good."
Â
The Cougars will return to action at the FAMC Intercollegiate at The Grove hosted by Middle Tennessee on Oct. 8-10 at The Grove Golf Club in Nashville, Tenn.
Â
"I am really excited about this team," McEntire said. "The potential is there to be very good. We have to continue to learn each other, get healthy and grow as a unit. Nashville will be another great opportunity for us to improve. We have had some success at The Grove and look forward to working on a few things before our next tournament."
