The Maroon and White's 294 on Sunday was the fifth-best round of the season. MSU fired a 294 in the opening round of the LSU/Country Club of Louisiana Intercollegiate in the fall campaign. State fired a second-round 296, but opened the Spring Invitational with a 305.
Junior Daniel Boles turned in the low-round of the tournament for MSU with a one under-par 71. He was State's top-finisher in 42nd place. Joe Deraney and Carl Sutton both had their best round of the three-day event with a one over-par 73. Tim Satow and Jared Jimenez finished the tournament with a 77 in the final 18 holes.
Tournament host-LSU fired the low-round of the day with a 278 to overtake Furman, who was the leader after 36 holes. The Tigers were fifth heading in to the final 18 holes. They finished the 54-hole tournament at 13 under-par, one stroke better than Furman. Tulane's Michael Thompson took home individual honors with a nine under-par tournament performance. He defeated Furman's T.J. Blandford in a playoff.
MSU returns to action next weekend, traveling to the plains of Auburn, Ala. to take part in the Billy Hitchcock Intercollegiate on April 9-11 at Saugahatchee Country Club.
