Jax State tied for 11th at the Myrtle Beach Golf Trips Intercollegiate, hosted by Coastal Carolina at The Grande Dunes Resort Club.
The Gamecocks got off to a solid start with four players in red numbers and were tied for fifth after 18 holes. A 12-over day on Monday hurt the standings but the team bounced back with a two-over score of 290 in Tuesday's final round to finish the tournament at six over par as a group.
Coastal Carolina won the event at 29-under by nine shots over Elon.
Individually, junior Ben Shedd was fourth in the field, just two shots off the lead with a 54-hole total of 10-under. The Cullman native posted a five-under round of 67 on Sunday which was highlighted by a four-under 32 on the back nine. Shedd posted 69 in Monday's second round and 70 in the final round.
Sophomore Tyler Neidel tied for 44th with a three-over total. He shot a one-under 71 to start the tournament which was followed by a 76 on Monday. An eagle on the 571 yard, Par 5 seventh in the final round got him to one-under and a birdie on nine got him a 34 at the turn before finishing the day with an even-par 72.
Raphael Turcaud was tied for 59th in his Jax State debut with a par of one-under 71s on Sunday and Tuesday around an 80 on Monday to finish the tournament at six-over. Will Drake was a shot back in 62nd with totals of 71, 75, and 77.
Jules Haessig was 89th at 17-over with rounds of 75, 80, and 78.
Next up will be the G-Mac Invitational at Inverness Country Club in Birmingham starting September 20th.
