DALLAS - The North Texas men's golf team battled windy conditions in Tuesday's final round of the Trinity Forest Invitational and shot a final-round 294 to finish in eighth place of 15 teams at 27-over par.
The Mean Green were led by junior Lenny Bergsson, who shot a final-round 1-over 72 to finish the tournament at 5-over par in a tie for 17th place. Freshmen teammates Nikhil Gopal and Vicente Marzilio finished tied for 20th at 6-over par in the Mean Green's spring tournament debut, which also marked Gopal's first collegiate tournament.
The Mean Green, who entered the tournament ranked No. 18 nationally, started the tournament in great shape and were in second place after the first round and pulled within one shot of leader and eventual champion SMU, the tournament host, early in the second round.
"I feel like we had a solid game plan and the guys were ready to compete this week," UNT head coach Brad Stracke said. "We were in great shape after the first 25 holes, only one back from the lead, and then we seemed to lose a little confidence after that point. I was surprised we didn't finish stronger because I am confident in my team. I am excited that we will get after it again at the Louisiana Classic on Monday."
