Senior Curtis Reed shot 70 in the final round for his second par effort or better at the tournament and led the Cougars with a 15th-place finish.

Junior Roman Robledo — who won the individual titles at each of his last three events — placed in the final player standings with a 70 and tied for 30th at 215.

Junior Kyle Pilgrim also shot 70 Tuesday to move into 56th at 221. Other Cougars competing were senior Wesley McClain (217, t-36th) and sophomore Vincent Martino (219, t-47th).

No. 4 Georgia Tech won the team title after firing a final-round 283 and finished at 837, eight strokes ahead of No. 3 Oklahoma State.

The 15-team field featured four of the nation’s top-10 ranked teams and 11 of the top 30.
