MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University golfer Jackson Davenport shot 4-under-par to lead the Mountaineers at The Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate in Awendaw, South Carolina.

Davenport had rounds of 72-67-73=212 on the par 72 Bulls Bay Golf Club to finish tied for 16^th place. Mark Goetz finished tied for 48^th place with rounds of 72-67-78=217 (+1), Trent Tipton recorded rounds of 72-73-75=220 (+4), Logan Perkins shot Even par on Tuesday to finish 76-73-72=221 (+5) and Kurtis Grant was 71-71-81=223 (+7). Max Green competed as an individual and had rounds of 76-74-78=228 (+12).

As a team, the Mountaineers shot 1-under-par for the tournament with rounds of 287-278-298=863 to finish in 13^th place.

"We got off to a horrible start today, that's what did us in," coach Sean Covich said. "This week we had to count too many big numbers, several doubles and triples, and you simply can't make up for those.

"We did have some bright spots. Jackson Davenport had a great week. Logan battled today for Even par on the hardest day. But the situation now is that if we want to play in postseason, we must play our way in at Vanderbilt and at the Big 12 Championship. It's time to step up and play to our potential."

The Mountaineers will be back in action from Friday to Sunday at the Mason Rudolph Championship, played at Vanderbilt Legends Club in Nashville, Tennessee.

At the Butler Spring Invitational in Indianapolis, Todd Duncan shot 71-72=143 (+3) to finish tied for 12^th. Olivier Ménard finished 5-over-par and tied for 17^th place with rounds of 73-72=145, while Will Stakel tied for 28^th with scores of 73-74=147 (+7).
