Hood Linksmen Finish 15th at Elizabethtown Invitational

HERSHEY, Pa.--The Hood College men's golf team shot a combined score of 360 and finished in 15th place at the Elizabethtown College Invitational Thursday afternoon.

Ira Benoit and Tyler Fairley carded the lowest rounds of the day for the Blazers with 89s. Andy Alger shot a 90, Evan Chaney posted a 92 and Jacob East registered a 105.

Benoit birdied the first hole of the day and collected three pars, while Fairley parred five holes. Alger had six pars and a birdie on the par-four 11th. Chaney made five pars and birdied the par-three eighth. East picked up a pair of pars on the par-five sixth and the par-four 11th.

Messiah College's Matt Burkhart won medalist plaudits with a three-over 74. Moravian College took home the team title with a combined score of 317. That score matched the foursome from Messiah, but Moravian's fifth competitor had a lower score than Messiah's to snap the tie.
