Millsaps Men Wrap up Final Fall Event

CLEVELAND - The Millsaps men's golf team wrapped up its final event of the fall season this past weekend at the Derrall Foreman Invitational in Cleveland, firing a two-day score of 628 to finish in 17th place out of 22 teams.

After ideal weather conditions on Day 1, Millsaps was able to shoot a combined score of 310 which was good enough for a ninth place finish after the first round of action.

Jack Rader led the way for the Majors after the first day, firing a 73 to finish in a four-way tie for fifth place heading into the final round. Other scores after Day 1 were Drew McDowell (76), Chad Tobler (77), Michael Ameen (84) and Daniel Rice (86).

Unfortunately for Millsaps, Day 2 was a different story. As the wind on the coast picked up a little, the Majors and several other teams dropped important shots that caused them spots in the final standings.

Millsaps fell from a combined score of 310 on Day 1 to a 318 on Day 2. The eight shot difference proved costly, as the Majors slipped from ninth to finish 17th overall.

Rader and Tobler finished in a 40th place tie out of 110 golfers, while McDowell rounded out the top 55 with a 54th place finish after firing an 80 during the final round.
