RALEIGH, N.C. - The Wake Forest men's golf team remained in fourth place after the final round of The Intercollegiate on Sunday. The two-day, 54-hole event featured 17 teams on the par 71, 6,782-yard layout at Raleigh Country Club.
As it did in the second round on Saturday, Wake Forest shot a two-over 286 on the final 18, finishing the tournament with an even 852. The Deacs finished nine strokes back of team champion SMU. The Mustangs, after opening with a three-over 287, turned in subsequent rounds of 277 and 279 to finish four strokes ahead of both UNC and Tulsa, who tied for second at -5.
The Deacons have placed among the top four in six straight tournaments, and in nine of 12 events so far this season.
Seniors Brent Wanner and Chad Wilfong posted WFU's best individual finishes, both tying for 11th with a one-under 212. Wilfong, who opened with rounds of 70 and 74, vaulted from 27th place to 11th on the final 18 thanks to a 68 on Sunday. Wanner shot a one-over 72 on Sunday to go with his earlier scores of 72-68.
The Deacon duo finished five strokes back of individual medalist Chris Noel of Tulsa, who won with a six-under 207.
WFU senior Cortland Lowe recorded his third top 20 finish of the season, placing 14th with an even 213. Lowe entered the day in third place overall, but turned in a three-over 74 in the final round.
Freshman Kyle Reifers tied for 26th with a three-over 216, carding rounds of 69-75-72. The struggles continued for senior Chris Yoder on Sunday, as he turned in a 78 to finish 62nd in the standings with a 12-over 225 (71-76-78).
