Marshall men’s golf places sixth in home opener.

The Marshall men’s golf team placed sixth out of 15 overall in the Joe Feaganes Marshall Invitational Tuesday at Guyan Golf and Country Club.

After a 4 1/2-hour weather delay, the teams competed in two, 18-hole rounds over two days.

“I think that they handled [the weather delay] well,” head men’s golf coach Matt Grobe said. “Sometimes adversity is a good thing for team. Part of college golf is this and they handled it really well.”

In its sixth-place finish, Herd golfers Matt Hoffman, Cameron Root, Thomas Frazier, Kyle Mitchell and Ben Roeder combined to shoot 280 on day one and 287 on day two to accumulate a score of 567 (1-under par).
