WHITE LAKE -- Jonathan Greene tied for fifth in individual play and Mount Olive ended up eighth overall in the Carolina Sands Men's Golf Intercollegiate contested Sunday.

Tournament officials shortened the event to 18 holes due to Saturday's inclement weather.

Greene, a Wayne Christian graduate, recorded a 1-over par 71. He fired a 39 on the front nine, but recovered to shoot 4-under 32 on the back nine.

The Trojans' Pete Skirpstas tied for 19th with a 74. Mick Moberg (78) tied for 45th. Johan Hagsund (81) and Josh Harward (83) tied for 66th and 71st, respectively.

Mount Olive posted a four-player total of 304. Ten strokes separated the second- through eighth-place teams. Coker emerged the team champion with a 286.

The Trojans return to action April 20-22 for the season-ending Conference Carolinas Championships at Winston-Salem.
