Freshman Javier Borrego Martin (Salamanca, Spain) finished the tournament alone in second-place after turning in a pair of 72's to finish even for the tournament. Just three strokes behind him was senior Patrick Jacobs (Prosperity, S.C.) and freshman Herman du Plessis (Johannesburg, Z.A.) who both finished in a tie for fourth-place on the day, carding three-over for the event.
Sophomore Carlos Camaros-Ruiz (Madrid, Spain) took home a sixth-place finish as he was able to finish four-over for the event while sophomore Benny Fischer (Regensburg, Germany) carded just one stroke more that Camaros-Ruiz to take home a tie for eighth. Sophomore Tom Hull (Spalding, England) carded a one-over round to start the day and ended with a fix-over round to secure his tie for tenth-place.
Sophomore Miguel Meza (Torreon, Mexico) and freshman Eric Nord (Blythewood, S.C.) each rounded out the event in a tie for 19th as they were able to have a two-round combined score of ten-over each.
The Wolves turn their attention to early next week as they travel to Pawley's Island, S.C. and the Caledonia Golf and Fish Club for the Spring Bulldog Clash hosted by Barton College on February 27-28.
