SPARTANBURG, S.C. -
Maryland's Tim Kane won the individual
honors at the Wofford Invitational on Saturday, but the Terps were
defeated by UNC-Wilmington in a two-hole sudden death playoff for the
title.
After 36 holes of play, the Seahawks and Maryland were knotted
at 580. They tied the first playoff hole, but the second hole saw
UNC-Wilmington take the title, becoming just the second non-ACC team to
do so in the tournament's 16-year run.
Central Florida (587), East Carolina (592), and Wofford (595)
rounded out the top five. Among other Southern Conference schools
participating, Furman finished seventh, while Davidson and UNC
Greensboro tied for eighth.
Kane trailed East Carolina's Jason Harris by one after the first
day of play, but managed to go three under par in both rounds to take
the overall win (69-69--138). Harris and UNC-Wilmington's Tony
DiBitetto tied for the runner-up spot with 143, while the Seahawks'
Derek Brown and Central Florida's Stefan Wistorf tied for fourth with
even-par performances.
Terrapin freshman John Eades continued his stellar play this spring, finishing in a tie for 10th place with a two-round total of 147. He shared 10th with, among others, teammate Dan MacDonald, who had an even-par round of 72 on Saturday. John Moheyer also had a 72 on Saturday and finished with a five-over total of 149. Jeff Spradlin shot 76-82--158.
