GOODYEAR, AZ – The Wright State golf team finished third as a group at the Loyola Intercollegiate in Arizona, as Cole Corder and Tyler Goecke tied for second individually.

The Raiders began the final round one shot ahead of Marquette and Utah Valley and led at the turn Tuesday before finishing with a 280 final round team total and an eight-under score to finish the week 18-under overall, three shots back of team champion Utah Valley (-21) and two back of Marquette (-20).

Corder was tied for third after 36 holes and recorded four birdies and a hole-in-one on the par three eighth hole as part of his first nine holes Tuesday before his final nine holes featured two more birdies, along with three bogeys and a triple bogey as he carded a two-under final round 70 to finish nine-under overall in the tie for second.

Goecke was two shots back of Corder in a tie for fifth entering the day and turned in a clean card with a pair of birdies and an eagle on the par five 14th for his four-under 68 as he ended the tournament nine-under as well.

Mikkel Mathiesen finished tied for 13th at four-under for the tournament after a final round 68 that saw four birdies and an eagle on the par five 11th to counteract a double bogey as the lone blemish on his scorecard. Andrew Flynn tallied seven birdies, including six on the front nine, on the way to a two-over final round 74 as he ended the week four-over in a tie for 55th, while Davis Root finished tied for 70th at six-over for the week after a final round 76 that saw an eagle on the par five second hole.

As a group, the Raiders tallied 20 birdies on Tuesday, with 15 coming on the front nine, while adding four eagles across the collective scorecards.

Wright State is back in action March 9-11 at the Sea Palms Invitational in St. Simons Island, Georgia, a tournament the Raiders head to as the defending champions as three players finished inside the top 15 individually last spring.
