KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – Georgia Southern sophomore Henry Mabbett carded an even-par 72, and the Eagles shot a team total of 297 to jump ahead two spots and finish fifth at The Invitational at the Ocean Course Tuesday.

South Florida (+7) won the tournament, and South Alabama (+11) placed second. Kentucky (+12) and Georgia tied for third, followed by the Eagles (+33) in fifth. It's GSU's second top-5 team finish of the season, and the tournament featured six teams in Golfweek's top-100 rankings.

"We limited our big numbers today, which helped us move up a few spots," said Georgia Southern coach Larry Mays. "Top-5 finishes are always a goal each week, and it's nice to get there today. We are still looking for a breakout round to really get us going."

Will Evans shot a 76 today to finish 14th (+5) in the individual standings, and Scott Wolfes posted a 73 to tie for 17th (+7). Georgia's Joey Garber followed his 66 yesterday with a 68 today to win individual medalist honors, and teammate Lee McCoy fired a tournament record 65 to move from 23rd into a tie for fifth.

Mabbett's 72 was the lowest in his career as an Eagle. Hayden Anderson posted a 76, Drew Guffey, who played as an individual, carded a 79 and Kim Koivu shot an 82.

It was a shotgun start today, and Mabbett began his day on the back nine. After six straight pars to open his round, a bogey on 16 turned out to be the only blemish on his card. He birdied hole 2 to get back to even and finished the day with seven consecutive pars.

Wolfes started on hole 7, and three birdies and three bogeys left him even through 15 holes. He bogeyed hole 4 and parred 5 and 6 to finish the day 1-over. Evans was 1-over through 13 but collected bogeys on three of his last five holes to finish 4-over.

Anderson had a string of five straight pars early in his round and was 1-over through nine after a birdie on hole 16. The senior had three bogeys on his final nine holes to post a 76.

It was a rough day for Koivu, who carded three double bogeys. The junior did finish strong with four consecutive pars to cap his round.

Guffey righted the ship after playing his first four holes at 5-over. He logged six straight pars in the middle of the round and played his final five holes at even par to finish 7-over.

The Eagles will cap the fall season by co-hosting a tournament with North Florida Nov. 4-5. The Eagle/Osprey Classic will be at Deer Creek in Jacksonville, Fla.
