Release from Kennesaw State Athletics:

Sophomore Teremoana Beaucousin shot a third-round 3-under par 67 to lead the No. 28 Kennesaw State men’s golf team to a tie for third place at The Cleveland Golf Palmetto Intercollegiate that concluded Tuesday (Mar. 10) at the par-70, 6,617-yard Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken, S.C.

Beaucousin was one of three Owls to record sub-par rounds while helping Kennesaw State post the low score of the day and finish the 54-hole event with an 8-under par score of 832, seven shots behind No. 8 South Carolina, which captured the tournament title with a 14-under par total of 825.

The Gamecocks finished one shot ahead of No. 33 Clemson (826), while Kennesaw State tied with No. 19 Virginia.

The Owls, who recorded rounds of 279-279-274, established a school-record par-70 18-hole scoring mark with their final round total. Their 54-hole total of 831 also shattered the previous par-70 record of 850 that was set at the 2008 Wyoming Cowboy Classic.

In addition to Beaucousin, who tied for fourth with a 6-under par 204 total, seniors Austin Vick and Jimmy Beck posted final-round scores of 68 and 69, respectively. Beaucousin’s 54-hole score established a par-70 school record while Beck’s 205 total ranks second all-time.

Beaucousin finished three shots behind South Carolina’s Will Starke who captured individual medalist honors with a 9-under par 201 score to finish one shot ahead of Scott Wolfes of Georgia Southern and Clemson’s Cody Proveaux.

Beck tied for eighth to record his fifth Top 10 showing in six events during the 2014-15 season. Vick tied for 18th at 1-under par 209, while freshman Fredrik Nilehn (+3, 214) and senior Kelby Burton (+12, 222) tied for 31st and tied for 69th, respectively.

Kennesaw State is next in action on March 21 when it opens play at the Linger Longer Invitational at the Great Waters Golf Club in Greensboro, Ga.
