After collectively shooting the lowest round in both the final days of the 39th annual Schenkel Invitational from Forest Heights Country Club over the weekend, the Georgia Southern men’s golf team finished runner-up to the Vanderbilt Commodores at the tournament’s end.
While the rest of the university was on spring break, the Eagles were busy setting a new school record at the tournament, shooting a 10- under par 278 on the final day of play, and finishing the weekend with an overall team score of 843, which equates to 21 shots under par.
Even with their valiant efforts over the course of the tournament, Georgia Southern just could not quite catch up to Vanderbilt, who came into Sunday boasting a 12-stroke lead over the Eagles, and ended the weekend up 8-shots.
