WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - Sophomore Tim Courtney tied for 11th and the Richmond men's golf team finished sixth out of 21 teams at the William & Mary Invitational on Tuesday at Kingsmill's par-72 River Course.
Courtney carded a 1-over-par 73 Tuesday to go with his even-par 72 Monday. He finished the 36-hole tournament at 1-over 145.
The Spiders had shot a 290 on Monday and were in third place, but Richmond carded a 306 Tuesday to drop to sixth with a 596.
"This was a disappointing finish," Richmond head coach Adam Decker said. "We started the front side very well, but the back nine really hurt us."
Junior Jordan Utley tied for 20th at 4-over 148. Utley shot a 71 in the opening round, but carded a 77 on Tuesday.
Senior John Pelet and junior Billy Hanes tied for 51st with 153s. Pelet shot an 80 on Tuesday after a 73 on Monday. Hanes fired a 76 on Tuesday after a 77 on Monday. Sophomore Grant Rafield tied for 77th with a 158, carding a 2-over 74 on Monday and an 84 on Tuesday.
The Spiders have a quick turnaround, returning to action on Saturday and Sunday at the Lacrosse Homes Collegiate.
