10/22/2008 12:00:00 AM | Men's Golf
The University of Minnesota golf team placed three players in the top-16 individually and were able to secure its third consecutive top-five finish by placing fourth at the 2008 Georgetown Intercollegiate with a 36-hole score of 604. Miami of Ohio (+22, 590) led the tournament wire-to-wire to defeat William & Mary by five strokes and third place Richmond by nine strokes. The host Georgetown Hoyas finished fifth with a score of 606.
Minnesota was led by senior Yu Katayama, who finished in a seven-player tie for ninth place with a score of 150. Amongst the group of seven golfers was Katayama's teammate Andy Paulson. The Gophers were not able to count Paulson's consecutive rounds of 75 on Monday and Tuesday because he was playing the tournament as an individual. Senior Victor Almstrom and junior Ben Pisani finished in a five-way tie for 16th place with 36-hole scores of 151 while Patrick Datz and Cameron White tied for 36th place at 155.
Doug Hurson of William & Mary took home medalist honors with a 1-over par score of 143 to defeat Aaron Cust of Miami of Ohio by one shot. Richmond's Robert Lindstrom finished third with a score of 145.
The Gophers will play in their final fall event on Oct. 27-28 when they take part in the Bridgestone Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina. The championship will be played at Forest Oaks Country Club, a 7,197 yard, par 72 course.
