HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Radford men's golf carded a 296 for the second straight round to finish in a tie for fifth Tuesday at the Wexford Intercollegiate hosted by Francis Marion.

The Rams notched the second-best score of the final round (290), which was fueled by Adam Ball's blistering 6-under-par 66. Behind his tournament-best round, Ball secured medalist honors at 4-under-par 212 (73-73-66). Overnight leader Davis Parker of PC dipped into red figures in his final round as well with a 2-under-par 70, but fell one shot off the pace.
