FINAL RESULTSSEASIDE, Calif. – The Nova Southeastern University men's golfers won the team title, and
Richard Mansell earned medalist honors, with the Otter Invitational in the books from the Bayonet and Blackhorse Golf Course.
The Sharks won the 18-team event by five strokes over British Colombia, with the hosts Cal State Monterey Bay finishing third. NSU's three-round total of 885 (288-296-301) included the lowest
– and two of the four best – team scores of the tournament. After finishing second behind Barry at the Guy Harvey Invitational by 19 strokes, the Sharks returned the favor in Seaside, as the Bucs were fifth and 23 off the lead.
Mansell (So., Staffordshire, England) was the only individual under par for the three rounds, shooting a 1-over 73 on Tuesday and a total of 215 (71-71-73), 1-under for the invitational. He topped Chico State's Alistair Docherty by three strokes, with a British Colombia duo tied for third at 4-over in Evan Holmes and Conner Kozak.
Teammate
Santiago Gomez (Jr., Armenia, Colombia) was alone in fifth, also shooting a 1-over 73 and totaling a 5-over 221 (71-77-73).
Hunter O'Mahony (Jr., Jupiter, Fla.) was next, tied for 13th at 226, while
Oscar Lengdèn (Sr., Helsingborg, Sweden) wrapped up with his best round of 74 and finished in a tie for 29th at 229.
