BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Steven Fisk recorded a pair of 71s to tie for first, and the Georgia Southern men's golf team finished seventh at the Shoal Creek Invitational Tuesday.
Fisk (-6) tied Philip Knowles of North Florida for the fourth win, seventh top-5 and 17th top-10 of his career. Eagles Avery Price and Mason Williams tied for 33rd, while Wilson Andress, who played as an individual this week, tied for 17th.
Texas A&M (-8) won the tournament, and North Florida (+1) finished second. Vanderbilt was third, Ole Miss took fourth, and Kansas and Kennesaw State tied for fifth.
Weather suspended play last night, and the teams completed the second round this morning and continued right into the third round, making for a long day on the links.

The story

Andress made five birdies in the second round and shot 2-under on his final five holes to card a 71. The freshman shot even on his final 11 holes of the tournament to card a 73 in the third round.
Price played his first 12 holes even and parred his last three holes to shoot 75 in the second round.
Williams shot 74 in both the second and the third rounds. The freshman shot even on his last 10 holes to finish the morning round and played his last 11 holes of the third round even.
Alakulppi shot 1-over on the front 9 and made 15 pars in the third round on his way to a 75.
Quotable from Coach Carter Collins
"We took a few steps forward this week. Getting some experience under the belts of our younger guys means a lot this time of year, and it will pay dividends for them moving forward."
"Shoal Creek was an incredible test throughout this event, but especially today with a tougher course setup and stronger wind. For the most part, we handled everything very well but have a few key things to work on before our next event. This team has such a bright future, and we can't wait to hit the ground running next weekend in North Carolina."
Next up
The Eagles have a short turnaround and will compete in The Hummingbird Intercollegiate Oct. 1-2 in Sapphire Valley, N.C.
