COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Buckeyes played another good round in tough conditions at Crooked Stick Golf Club, shooting 295 in the last round to finish 17-over and place fifth. The Crooked Stick Invitational was the last stop for the fall season in which Ohio State played three stroke play and one match play events.
Felix Kvarnstrom earned his second top-10 finish of the season, shooting a two-over 218 to tie for ninth at Crooked Stick. Kvarnstrom breezed through the front nine with seven pars and two birdies to make the turn two-under. Wind gusting up to 25 mph stifled scoring on the back nine, leading in part to a four-over back nine and two-over 74 to finish the tournament. The graduate student rolled in 10 birdies and one eagle over the 54-hole event.
Patrick Schmucking finished just two shots behind Kvarnstrom, carding a final round 75 to move to four-over and tie for 13th. The freshman made another good showing in his first season, collecting 10 birdies for the tournament and shooting his best score of the fall.
Kevin Stone, a Carmel, Indiana native, finished the Crooked Stick Invitational tied for 18th at five-over par.
Grant Engle carded 74-78-73 to place 32nd and JonErik Alford posted 78-77-73 to place 48th.
