DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Led by an individual ninth-place performance by Kevin Duncan, the Fairfield University men's golf team turned in a seventh-place team showing at the Lonnie Barton Invitational. Eric Austin added a 19th-place score in the 57-golfer field in the Stags' first outing of the spring. The 36-hole affair was held at LPGA International in Daytona Beach.

Duncan posted a 149 (74-75) for the tournament, six shots off the pace set by IPFW's Zach Schroeder (143, 70-73). Jake Groninger was one of three golfers to card a 146 (72-74) for the Mastodons, who ran away with the team title by 13 strokes with a cumulative 588 over two rounds.

Fairfield turned in a 622, four shots behind sixth-place LIU Brooklyn and just 15 strokes out of third place (Sacred Heart, 607) in the tightly-packed field behind IPFW.

Individually, Austin turned in a 154 (79-75), improving in the final round by four shots off his Monday score. Thomas Urciuoli (157, 77-80), Kellen Jordan (162, 83-79) and Alex Ferrante (187, 86-81) rounded out the quintet of Stags on the course today.

Fairfield is back on the links on April 2-3 at the Towson Spring Invitational at Prospect Bay Golf Course in Grasonville, Md.
