TOLEDO, Ohio – After struggling in round two, the Purdue men’s golf team posted the third-best team round of the day and moved up three spots to finish eighth at the competitive Inverness Intercollegiate held at The Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio.
The Boilermakers recorded a 1-over par 285 to finish the 54-hole event at 27-over par 879 (291-303-285). Texas Tech won the event at 1-over par 853, six shots ahead of Georgia Tech. Purdue finished eighth behind Texas Tech, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, Virginia, Notre Dame, Louisville and Ohio State and defeated strong programs in East Tennessee State and SMU.
Leading the Boilermakers was junior Herman Sekne, who was playing in his first tournament of the year, finishing T-9th at 2-over par 215 (72-74-69). His final-round, 2-under par 69 was his 12th career round in the 60s and his showing marked his seventh career top-10 finish in 18 career events.
