SORRENTO, Fla. – The Eckerd College men's golf team started Tuesday's final round of the Sunshine State Golf Tournament just after 8 am this morning.
Mitchell Clark started his day off on the front nine where he was masterful, parring 6 of 9 holes. Clark found the rough on the backside of the course and ended up hitting 85 on the final 18.
Falling just two strokes shy of his best round of 18 on the year,
Johan Nordahl played the front nine holes just one over par. His solid play did not stop there with Nordahl missing par on only three holes to finish with a 76 (+4).
Kris McGovern came up with some booming drives on Tuesday which helped him collect three birdies on his way to an 81. It was McGovern's final round as a Triton being the lone senior on the squad.
Joe Testerman was bothered by one tough hole on the front nine, but came back to score four pars and a birdie on the final nine holes. Testerman shot 84 on Tuesday to go along with his previous rounds of 75 and 79.
