SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Ben Carr shot a 1-under-par 70 to lead the Eagle men's golf team in the final round of the Fighting Irish Classic Tuesday at Warren Golf Course.
Sparked by an eagle on the par-5, 565-yard 17th followed by a birdie on 18, Carr, who began the day at hole 10, made the turn at 1-under. He recorded birdies on holes 4 and 8 to finish 1-over for the tournament.
Brett Barron shot 1-under on his final 14 holes with consecutive birdies on 5 and 6 on his way to an even-par 71, and Mason Williams was 1-under on his last 12 holes to post a 72.
Georgia Southern (+26) finished 13th in the team standings. Notre Dame (-16) won its home tournament by a stroke over North Carolina (-15).

Quotable from Coach Carter Collins
"This team fought to the finish and showed a lot of GRIT throughout the event, but as their head coach, I didn't do a good enough job preparing them. That's on me. Golf is hard, and learning is a necessary part of growth for all of us."
"I love this team and can't wait to go to battle with them anywhere, anytime. Go Eagles!!"
