AUSTIN, TX – The Montana State-Billings men’s golf team shot a final round 324 to wrap up competition at the St. Edward’s Invitational held in Austin, Texas February 19 and 20.  The Yellowjackets placed fifteenth in the 15-team field carding rounds of 350, 348, and 324 for a combined 1022.

St. Edward’s carded a final round eight-under par 280 to storm back and take home the championship Tuesday afternoon. The host team Hilltoppers, ranked No. 6 in the nation, shot rounds of 316, 301, and 280 for a combined 897.  Barry University slid from first after day one to second shooting a 317, 303, and 280 for an even 900.  Florida Institute of Technology clinched third in the team competition with a solid round of 289 on the final day.  They came back from a 331 following the first 18 holes to shoot 288 and 289 for a combined 908.

Barry University claimed the top two spots on the leader board with Hernan Borja climbing from a tie for third to win the invite with a final round five-under par 67.  Borja shot 75, 74, and 67 to finish an even 216 for the competition.  Borja’s teammate Nick Gillaspy slid one spot to second with rounds of 72, 72, and a one-over 73 for a combined 217.  Nick Cristea from St. Edward’s wrapped up third with round of 77, 73, and 69 for a three-over 219.

The Jackets’ Zach Abels (Twin Falls, ID) was in a seven-way tie for sixteenth after day one and finished the invite in a tie for thirty-second despite shaving one stroke off his previous two rounds.  Abels carded rounds of 79, 79, and 78 for a 236.  Michael Konrad (Rupert, ID) struggled early with rounds of 84 and 91, but improved to a six-over 78 in the final round to finish seventy-first with a combined 253.
