TOLEDO, Ohio- Competing against an elite field that includes multiple teams that made last season's NCAA Championship, the Wake Forest men's golf team ended round three of the Inverness Intercollegiate in Ohio Tuesday afternoon
After posting their best round of the tournament, the Deacs ended round three in eighth place with a final score of 850 (+22), finishing ahead of Power-4 schools Louisville, Clemson, Purdue and Michigan.
In his first outing as a Demon Deacon, junior Jakob Melin ended round three as the top Deac on the individual leaderboard at T28. After a bogey free front nine in round three, Melin maintained composure throughout his final round to keep his spot on the leaderboard.
As the only Deac under par in the third round, Marshall Meisel climbed 32 spots up the individual leaderboard finishing at T33. Meisel tallied three birdies between holes No. 6 and No. 9, and carded a final round score of 68 (-2), this being the lowest score recorded for the Deacs throughout the Inverness Intercollegiate.
Junior Boyd Owens was first in the field in par-three scoring, going -3, and led the Deacs in birdies scored (12) throughout the Inverness Intercollegiate. Owens ends round three tied for 38th.
Sophomore Kyle Haas rose nine spots up the leaderboard to land himself tied for 43rd, while Collin Adams ended round three holding a share of 63rd at 11-over-par.
Playing as an individual, Tom Haberer was tied for 66th at 12-over-par 219 (69-76-74).
From Coach Haas:
"After our first morning on Monday, the guys played very solid and got better each round. We hung in there and even though eighth place doesn't sound great, there's a lot of good things ahead. Go Deacs!"
Next Up
The Deacs will travel to Dublin, Ireland and are set to host the inaugural Lyon's Links College Invitational. This will be the first time the Deacs will be traveling outside of the United States as a team since 2019.
With Wake Forest as the official hosts at one of Ireland's most historic Championship Links, it promises to be a spectacular event. The first of its kind event featuring five-man teams, but facilitates colleges to bring additional players to compete individually. This is the first known collegiate event on Irish soil as the experience brings the college game to the original roots of the game.
