DESTIN, Fla. — The High Point University men's golf team traveled to the Sunshine State to compete in the Sandestin Collegiate Classic at the Sandestin Resort & Club, which concluded on Wednesday afternoon. The team was led by Burch Harrison, who finished a career-best second place.

Head Coach Logan Davis: "This week in Destin, we had some of our new players in the lineup. I was excited for the opportunity to see them in action this week. I was able to learn a lot about them while we were at the tournament. Burch had an amazing tournament to finish tied for second. Burch didn't make many mistakes this week and it showed with where he ended up on the leaderboard. It's not where we wanted to finish on the leaderboard as a team but with that being said, we have identified what we need to improve on. I'm excited for our next tournament in Pennsylvania to see what we can come back with. I know we are super close as a team, everyone is getting better on a daily basis; I can't wait to see what these guys do together."

Harrison originally set his career-high in round one with a 3-under-par 68 at the Sandestin Collegiate Classic. However, he went into the second day of the tournament and had another career-best day. He shot an impressive 4-under-par 67 to finish second. Harrison only had two bogeys through 54 holes and recorded 12 birdies. 

Super played a very consistent tournament, shooting a 72 each round. He was tied for the most pars in the tournament with 41 and shot only eight bogeys. Three of Super's five birdies came in the first round. 

Pitcairn played a very consistent final two rounds, shooting even in both. The redshirt senior recorded four birdies in round two and another three a round later. In Shallat's first tournament in Purple & White, the freshman's best round came on the final day, where he shot even with 12 holes being par. 

Bhasin opened up with a very impressive start to his collegiate career as he shot a 4-under-par 67 with six birdies. Competing as an individual, he followed this up with another six birdies in the tournament. 

Hassell made his High Point debut after transferring from South Florida and had a 1-under-over first round in which he had five of his 13 birdies. In round two, Hassell recorded his first eagle and was one of just nine golfers to do so over the three days. 

As a team, the Panthers shot three over in round one, but broke even by the end shooting 1-under and 2-under in the next two rounds, respectively. 

Up Next: High Point will compete next at the Red Flash Classic in Johnstown, Pa., from October 6-7.
