COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State completed the Nike Collegiate Invitational with a final round 290 (+6) to finish the tournament at 21-over par in 15th place. The Witch Hollow course at Pumpkin Ridge proved a difficult task for the Buckeyes, and along with the elite field made for a tough tournament.

Engle rolled in seven birdies to go along with 40 pars in his 54 holes, ranking him second in the 75-player field.

The freshman started off the day with two bogeys on the first nine to make the turn at two-over. He bogeyed holes one and three before going on a tear in his final six holes, holing four birdies, including one on his final hole to end the tournament on a high note.
