COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State men’s golf team concluded competition at the 2004 Marshall Invitational Saturday and claimed the team title for the 17th time in program history. The event hosted by Marshall University, was held at the par 71, 6,466-yard Guyan Golf and Country Club in Huntington, W. Va.
The Buckeyes entered final round competition atop the leaderboard and finished final round competition with a season-best, three-round total of 847 to capture their first tournament title since the 2003 Robert Kepler Intercollegiate. The win also marked the fifth time the Buckeyes have finished in the Top 5 this season.
Individually, the Buckeyes placed four players in the Top 10. Leading the way was senior Kevin Hall (Cincinnati, Ohio/St. Rita School for the Deaf) who finished the tournament with a final round score of 65, which tied a tournament record as he captured medallist honors. Hall’s first-place finish and final round score of 65 are both career-bests.
The Buckeyes also received strong outputs from freshman Colin Biles (Fr., Columbus, Ohio/Upper Arlington) and Scott Anderson (Jr., Great Falls, Montana/Great Falls) both of whom tied for sixth. Zach Doran (Dublin, Ohio/Columbus Academy) rounded out the Top 10 as he tied for 10th.
The Buckeyes return to action April 16-17 to compete in the 35th Annual Robert Kepler Intercollegiate where they will look to defend their 2003 Kepler title. The event will be held at the Ohio State University Scarlet Golf Course.
