CORVALIS, Ore. — High Point University men's golf competed at the Oregon State Invitational, hosted by Oregon State, from Monday to Tuesday.
Charlie Barr guided the team to a 12th-place finish with his strong performance.
Head Coach Logan Davis: "We didn't have our best stuff this week out in Oregon. The course played tough as it was the most firm and fast course we have played all year so far, there were a lot of difficult pin locations that we had to be careful to which also made it play very tough. There are a ton of lessons to be learned from this week. Next up is the Qubein Cup at Sedgefield CC, we are looking forward to that and bouncing back with a good finish next week. "
