The story
Fisk led the Eagles with five birdies today and tied for sixth in the tournament with 14 in the three rounds. After consecutive bogeys on his third and fourth holes of the day, the sophomore ran off 14 holes without a blemish on his card and tallied four birdies during the stretch.
Storey was 1-under after scoring par or better on nine straight holes with two birdies before a couple bad shots on his final hole soured his day. Barron got off to a good start with three birdies and four pars on his first eight holes.
Georgia Southern was third in the tournament with 55 birdies, but the Eagles were hurt on the par 3s, where they posted a 3.40 scoring average.
Quotable from Coach Carter Collins
"We had a poor finish to an otherwise very solid and fun week in Hawaii against this tough field. I think we learned a valuable lesson in how important it is to finish an event off the right way."
"I am very proud of the progress this team has made throughout the fall and can't wait to see what we can accomplish in the spring."
