The men’s golf team finished in 13t h place out of 15 teams at the Linger Longer Invitational this weekend in Greensboro, Ga.

Senior Carson Castellani led the Spartans, tying for 51st place. Castellani and his teammates shot a 19-over par 307 on Sunday — the second day of the invitational — to increase their 54-hole total for the tournament to 49-over par 913.

The invitational contained eight of the top-50 programs in the country, and although the Spartans started strong in the Saturday morning session, they struggled in the afternoon.

Castellani was tied for 54th place after the first two sessions and 36 holes, but climbed three spots on Sunday. Freshman Charlie Netzel came in two spots behind Castellani in the first day, but fell to finish 70th at the end of the tournament.

Junior Jon Finley and sophomore Mitch Rutledge finished with a group tied for 64th, shooting a 15-over par 231.

Fifth-ranked Georgia finished in first place in the team standings, in an upset over No. 1 Alabama.

The Spartans’ next stop will be at the Hawkeye Invitational on April 12 and 13 in Iowa City, Iowa. The men’s team is two invitationals away from the Big Ten Championships on May 2-4.
