Cashiers, N.C. - Western Carolina junior Keith Tyburski followed his 68 on day one with a two-under par 70 on day two to card a 36-hole total of 138, the third-best, two-round total in school history. However, Radford's Aaron Summers had back-to-back rounds of 69 for a 138 as well and defeated Tyburski on the second hole of the playoff to win the individual title at the WCU Intercollegiate, played at the Country Club of Sapphire Valley.
Round one leader, Charleston Southern, remained on top through 36 holes to win the team title with a six-under 570. Radford improved by eight strokes over its day one score to place second with a 576, while Western Carolina carded a two-day total of 580 to finish third.
Western's 580 is the second-best, 36-hole score in school history. Tyburski looked to give the Catamounts their 10th individual champion all-time and second in back-to-back events, as sophomore Tripp Morrow won last week's Shoot-Out at Wild Wing. Blake Wray ended the event tied for 14th with a 147, followed by Matt Flueckiger (149, 20th-t), Tripp Morrow (150, 25th-t) and Chase Kress (153, 33rd). WCU senior Brian Hogan, playing as an individual, tied for 11th with a total of 146. Other Catamounts to participate as individuals included Matt Dowdy and William Forcier, each of whom carded a 149 to tie for 20th, Shawn Costello (157, 40th-t) and Alex Arrigo (162, 45th).
The WCU Intercollegiate concludes the Catamounts' fall schedule and marks the final event for retiring Catamount head golf coach Johnny Wike. Western will not return to action until Feb. 20 at the Charleston Southern Spring Invitational.
