KODAK, Tenn. – After nearly five months off from competition, the Olivet Nazarene University men's golf team returned to action with a fifth-place finish at the Island Pointe Intercollegiate Thursday and Friday at the Island Pointe Golf Club.

The Tigers finished with a final score of 643 strokes across the two-round tournament to land in a three-way tie for fifth with Holy Cross and Huntington. Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC) won the 12-team event with a score of 611.

Sophomore Chris Brown led the ONU with a top-10 placement, carding two sub-80 rounds at 79 and 77 for a 156 to tie for eighth place. Luke Martin nearly cracked the top 10, finishing one stroke behind his teammate in tying for 11th overall at 157 (76-81).

Joseph Luchtenburg (164) and Hunter Trainer (165) rounded out the ONU scoring with 30th- and 37th-place finishes, respectively. Jack Busch also competed for the Tigers in the event.
