Final Results
#BoilerNotes
COLLEGE GROVE, Tenn. – The Purdue men's golf team played outstanding golf the last two days, but its first-round score was too much to overcome as the Boilermakers finished third at the Intercollegiate at the Grove held at The Grove Club.
The Boilermakers totaled an 11-under par 853 (294-274-285) to finish in third place, four shots behind Liberty (849) and one behind South Florida (852). No. 12-ranked Louisville finished fourth at 4-under par, while Ole Miss was fifth at 6-over par.
The final rounds were a welcome sight for the Boilermakers, who had struggled early in the year. Purdue's third-place showing was its best of the season and Tuesday's final round saw four players at even or under-par. Purdue played the final 36 holes in 17-under par 559 (274-285).
Leading the charge once again was senior Timmy Hildebrand, who just missed a share of his first career collegiate title, placing third at 7-under par 209 (70-69-70), one shot behind a pair of Liberty golfers. Hildebrand has now placed no worse than sixth in any of the last three events and has a stroke average of 70.33 and is a cumulative 11-under par already this fall. He has been at even or under-par in eight of his 12 rounds already this year.
Cole Bradley turned in his best career performance with a seventh-place showing at 4-under par 212 (71-69-72). Bradley's finish was a career-best and he has now been at even or under par in four straight rounds dating back to the Windon Memorial Classic. Bradley's 212 is a career-low, 54-hole score.
Purdue's third member of the top 10 was Jarle Volden, who placed tied for eighth at 3-under par 213 (77-64-72), good for his third career top-10 showing. Volden played outstanding golf over the last two days, posting a tournament-best 8-under par 136 over the final two rounds.
Joe Weiler shot his best round of the tournament Tuesday, catapulting to 27th place at 3-over par 219 (76-72-71). Weiler's final two rounds were his first of even or under-par this year and his 27th-place finish was the best of his career.
Thomas Lewis rounded out the Boilermakers' scoring at 18-over par 234 (84-74-76), good for 64th place.
Playing as an individual, Jason Hong placed tied for 39th at 7-over par 223 (76-74-73).
The Boilermakers will be back in action next Sunday and Monday at the Chatham Hills Invitational in Westfield, Indiana, at the Club at Chatham Hills.
