KETTERING, Ohio - Behind a final-round 293, the IPFW Mastodons carded a 36-hole score of 588, good for second in a strong and deep field at the 2012 Dayton Flyer Invitational.

The IPFW 36-hole score is the third-lowest tournament in program history, trailing only a pair of two-round tournaments from the 2009 season (a 581 and 582).

Summit League foe Oakland took home top honors in the tournament with a 578, including a final-round seven-under 277. Valparaiso (596), Detroit (596), Western Kentucky (596), Dayton (597), Loyola (599), Wright State (605), Youngstown (606), Northern Kentucky (609), IUPUI (610), Ohio (610), Bowling Green (612), Evansville (613), Owens (616), Butler (617), Robert Morris (618), and Chicago State (752) rounded out the 18 teams in the field.

Drew Imel shot an even-par 71 in the final round, while E.J. Tacktt carded a 73, as the pair ended up tied with 36-hole scores of 145, tying for seventh place in the 100-player field. The pair tied for the eighth-lowest 36-hole tournament score in program history, as Nathan Hoff has the school record of a 139, set at the 2006 IPFW Fall Classic.

Jacob Groninger shot a 73, as Bruno Carvalho carded a 76, as the pair of players also ended tied with a 149, tying for 19th overall.

Patrick Kundenreich rounded out the golfers on the official IPFW team with his second straight 77, giving him a 154, tying for 47th, as Oliver Gibson, playing as an individual, shot a final-round 85, giving him a 164 for the 36 holes, placing 90th.

The Mastodons close out their fall season on November 3 and 4 at the Western Carolina Hummingbird Intercollegiate at the Country Club of Sapphire Valley in Cashiers, N.C.
