Senior David Byrne tied for second and the UDM men's golf team finished sixth as the Titans ended their fall season at the Georgetown Intercollegiate on Tuesday afternoon at the Members Club at Four Streams in Beallsville, MD.

“Our goal was to finish top five in every tournament and we got it done at Michigan State (fifth), DePaul (second) and Illinois State (third) and this came down to just a couple strokes,” said head coach Mark Engel. "We'll work hard all winter to keep it going in the spring.”

Detroit totaled a 597 (299-298) in the 36-hole tournament, which was shortened by one round yesterday due to weather. The Titans finished ahead of such national programs as the host Hoyas, DePaul and St. John's, all out of the BIG EAST.

Byrne carded a 144, shooting a one-over 72 in both rounds of the tournament to finish in a tie for second, just one stroke behind the individual champion Hank Frame of Washington State.

“This was a good finish to the fall,” said Engel. “Dave really was steady all season and he did another good job to lead us.” 

In four fall tournaments, Byrne finished runner-up twice and tied for third on two other occaisons.

Junior Britt Pronk tied for 20th at Georgetown after following his 74 in round one with a 76 in round two for a 154 mark, while freshman Sheldon Keyte, playing in his first collegiate tournament, shared 28th with a 151 (75-76).

Rounding out the Titans was rookie Simon Reyers, who claimed 33rd with a 152 (78-74), and junior Jeff Clarridge's 157 (81-76) to take 50th.
