POWELL'S POINT, N.C. – Shooting +28 as a team over three rounds, the Radford men's golf team tied for 5^that the 2023 ODU/OBX Intercollegiate on Tuesday.
 
The Highlanders shot 9-over par in their third and final journey through Kilmarlic Golf Course, tying with Big South-rival Longwood to finish up the fall schedule.
 
Radford's brightest point of the tournament was Bryce Corbett's battle for an individual championship, which came up just short. The senior was two strokes clear at the start of his back nine, before running into some trouble.
 
Corbett started the day strong once again, birdying the 3^rd, 9^th, and 10^th holes. His scores didn't stay quite as low down the stretch however, as he bogeyed the 13^th and 16^th holes before suffering a double bogey on 18. His 73 (+2) still landed him into a tie for 3^rd out of 76 golfers, giving the standout plenty to build on.
 
Tying for 22^nd was Bobby Dudeck, who had a busy day. He birdied the 5^th hole, followed it up with a double bogey on the 6^th hole, and then immediately erased that mistake with birdies on the 7^th and 8^th holes. His back nine was an up-and-down adventure as well, bringing his score to a 73.
 
Patrick Gareiss shot a 74 to tie for 29^th, birdying a trio of holes on the back nine to end the tournament on a positive note.
 
Improving round-over-round, Nathan Piatt shot a 73, which was easily his best score of the week. He jumped nine more spots up the individual leaderboard to tie for 45^th. Nicholas Taliferro had a tough final round, bringing his final standing to T-50^th.
 
Radford's 41 combined birdies, 22 of which came from Dudeck and Corbett, were the fourth-most of any team in the field. Corbett did his most damage on Par 4's, where his 3.93 stroke average topped the field.
