Final Results

PITTSBURGH, Pa. – Marshall junior golfer Ryan Bilby carded a 2-under 69 in the final round of the RedHawk Intercollegiate to finish tied for 9^th at Pittsburgh Field Club on Tuesday.

For Bilby, it was his second consecutive 69 and his third consecutive tournament finishing in the top-10 for the Thundering Herd.

“It was a really good, challenging week for us,” Marshall Men’s Golf coach Matt Grobe said. “Ryan played excellent to get his third top-10 in a row.”

Bilby had a flurry to end his round, birdieing three of his final four holes to end the tournament in strong fashion at 3-under for the 54 holes of action.

In addition to Bilby’s strong effort, Marshall senior J.F. Aber had one of the top rounds of the day in the tournament, firing a 3-under 68 that vaulted him to a top-25 finish as well.

Aber finished Tuesday with seven birdies, including three in his last five holes of action to end the tournament at 2-over – good for a tie for 24^th.

“J.F. had a good week after getting off to a slow start,” Grobe said. “We faced some really tough conditions with lots of wind, rain and even hail. I was proud of the way our guys fought.”

As a team, Marshall finished tied for 7^th in the 16-team event. Marquette won the team title at 16-under.

Marshall returns to action for its final tournament of the fall next week with the Flyer Invitational, hosted by Dayton.
