TicketsCINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati junior Joe McCarthy (Cincinnati, Ohio/St. Xavier/DePaul) carded a career-low 5-under par 67 Tuesday to tie for sixth place at 5-under 73-71-67=211 at the Kiawah Classic at Turtle Point Golf Course.
McCarthy vaulted 13 places on the leaderboard thanks to a third-round scorecard that featured five birdies and 13 par scores without a bogie. He completed the event with 11 birdies and par or better scores on 49 of 54 holes.
McCarthy becomes the third different Bearcat to finish in the top 10 of a fall tournament this season, joining Sam Jean and Clay Amlung, who each tied for sixth at the Steelwood Collegiate Invitational on Oct. 27.
The effort helped the Bearcats finish their fall season on a strong note. UC posted its lowest team score at a Par 72 tournament this fall with a 9-under 279 effort, climbing four places to finish sixth at 2-over 295-292-279=866.
Sophomore Sam Jean (Greenwood, Ind./Center Grove) recorded his team-best sixth top-40 finish of the fall, tying for 32nd place at 74-72-71=217. His final-round 1-under 71 was highlighted by a trio of birdies and a 3-under 33 score on the back nine holes.
Freshman Cole Harris (Carmel, Ind./Carmel HS) strung together three consecutive 1-over 73 scores for the tournament to finish tied for 43rd at 3-over 219.
Sophomore Mason Lenhart (Prospect, Ky./North Oldham HS) moved up 29 places in the standings Tuesday with a 4-under 68 to finish tied for 55th place at 6-over 78-76-68=222. His final round included an eagle on the 13th hole to go with four birdies and a pair of bogies.
Junior Clay Amlung (Louisville, Ky./Saint Xavier) completed the event tied for 70th place at 9-over 75-77-73=225.
Auburn won the 21-team event at 31-under 274-282-277=833. Auburn's Jovan Rebula led wire-to-wire to claim individual medalist honors at 13-under 64-66-73=203.
