DADE CITY, Fla. – The Eckerd men's golf team continued its record-setting start to the season, finishing sixth at the South/Southeast Regional Preview on Tuesday at Lake Jovita Golf and Country Club.
The Tritons finished the 54-hole event at 850, 14-under par, after rounds of 284, 272, and 294. Eckerd placed sixth in the 12-team field, two strokes ahead of North Georgia and three ahead of Tampa.
Eckerd's second round highlighted the tournament as the Tritons fired a 16-under 272, breaking the program's single-round team record of 278 set just last week at the Jay Jennison Cup.
