Jonas Vaisanen ties for fifth.
Final results
LAKE WORTH, Fla. – Jonas Vaisanen shot an even-par 71, and the Georgia Southern men's golf team placed seventh at the FAU Slomin Autism Invitational Sunday at the Fountains Country Club North Course.
It's the best finish of Vaisanen's (-4) Georgia Southern career. Archer Price tied for 20th after shooting a 72 today, and Steven Fisk shot a 72. Henry Mabbett recorded a 73, and Jake Storey carded a 76.
Georgia Southern (+11) finished two strokes behind Murray State (+9) and four strokes away from Florida Atlantic (+7) and DePaul, which tied for fourth. Ole Miss (-11) ran away with the team title, UConn (E) was second and Central Florida (+4) took fourth.
The story
Vaisanen had three birdies and three bogeys on the day and played the back nine 1-under. He birdied holes 11 and 13 to move to 1-under on the day but came up with a bogey on hole 16 to fall back to even. Fisk birdied hole 3, played the front nine 1-under-par and parred four in a row coming in. Price birdied the first and third holes and was 2-under through his first six holes. After running into a bit of trouble on hole 10, the sophomore birdied 11 and finished with seven straight pars. Mabbett birdied holes 1 and 11 and was even through 15 holes. Storey logged a team-high five birdies, but a couple of big numbers put a damper on his round.
Quotables from coach Carter Collins
"We have had different guys step up and play well in every event so far this year - this week was Jonas. But in order for us to play at the level we want, we need to put it all together, all week. This week was close to being very solid but too many big numbers and small mistakes. We have time between now and our next event to keep working hard and head towards our yearly goals."
