BLUFFTON, S.C. – Ben Carr fired a bogey-free 65, and the Georgia Southern men's golf team shot the third-lowest round of the day to win the Colleton River Collegiate Tuesday at the Colleton River Club Nicklaus Course.

It's the second time the Eagles have won the event in three appearances. Georgia Southern (-30) held a six-stroke lead after Monday's first two rounds and shot 14-under to win by nine strokes over a hard-charging Cincinnati (-21) squad that posted an 18-under 270 and finished second.

Kansas State (-20) took third, Ohio State (-17) was fourth and tournament host Michigan State (-15) finished fifth. The field featured four teams in the top-45 and six individuals in the top-100 in the country, according to Golfstat.

All five Eagles placed in the top-25, led by Carr, who recorded seven birdies today and tied for fourth. Mason Williams followed yesterday's second-round 69 with a bogey-free, five-birdie round of 67 and tied for ninth.

Hogan Ingram carded a 69 and finished 14th, Brantley Baker tied for 18th and Wilson Andress was the fourth Eagle counter today and carded a 73 to tie for 23rd. Georgia Southern led the field in birdies with 65 as well as par-3 scoring and par-4 scoring.

Quotables from Coach Carter Collins
"I'm really proud of this team on winning a great tournament. To sleep on the lead, adjust to different course setup and conditions and then to shoot 14-under to win this championship is special. It shows the determination and resolve that have, and we will keep building and stay hungry. They should be very proud of themselves, and we hope Eagle Nation is proud too, Hail Southern!!"
