Coastal Men's Golf Ties For Fourth at Opus NW Husky Invitational

More Information:    

BREMERTON, WA - Coastal Carolina’s men’s golf team played well and finished in a tie for fourth at the 2004 Opus NW Husky Invitational, hosted by the University of Washington at the Olympic Course at Gold Mountain, Sept. 27-28.

The Chanticleers entered the final round in third place, trailing leader Southern California by 20 shots, while second through sixth were separated by just three shots. However, the real winner in the last round on Tuesday was the golf course, as the average player score was the highest in the three-round event, almost a shot per player more than the opening round. Coastal was not spared, as the Chants fell one place to finish behind champion USC, #15 BYU and #20 Washington into a tie with Minnesota, a 2004 NCAA Regional qualifier.

Ben Hayes of USC took home medalist honors at four-under 212, while CCU’s Dustin Johnson tied for sixth at one-under 215. Jeremy Kirkland also posted a top-20 finish, tying for 16th at 220.

Coastal will next be in action Mon.-Tue., Oct. 10-11 at the Pepperdine/Club Glove Intercollegiate, held at the Saticoy Country Club in Malibu, CA.
