WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The Purdue men's golf team never got anything going in Sunday's final round, finishing tied for 12th at its own Boilermaker Invitational held this weekend at the Kampen Course.
Austin Eoff led the Boilermakers with a T-22nd finish at 3-over par 219.
Purdue finished with a 54-hole total of 26-over par 890 to finish tied with Kent State, 61 shots behind tournament champion and No. 3-ranked Illinois (-35; 829). Louisville finished second (-3; 861), and Northwestern (+5; 869), Ohio State (+7; 871) and Indiana (+12; 876) rounded out the top five.
The final round was played in stark contrast to Saturday's first two rounds, as a brisk Southeast wind blew all day and the final nine holes were played in a steady rain. Purdue could get nothing going for its round, registering just five birdies, including three by freshman Brian Carlson. The Boilermakers recorded two birdies each on holes No. 10 and 15, but made just one combined birdie on the other 16 holes and none on the front nine.
Austin Eoff and Enzo Perez led the Boilermakers by finishing in a tie for 22nd at 3-over par 219. Eoff totaled a 77 in the final round while Perez tallied a 6-over par 78.
Carlson placed tied for 51st at 12-over par 228 (74-74-80). Stuart Macdonald was tied for 59th at 14-over par 230 (78-76-76) and senior Ben-Marvin Egel was 77th at 21-over par 237 (76-85-76).
Individually, Justin Cho placed tied for 47th at 10-over par 226 (74-75-77), Chad Phillips was 72nd at 17-over par 233 (80-77-76) and Philippe Schweizer was 80th at 25-over par 241 (82-77-81).
Purdue will head to the Big Ten Championship next weekend at Victoria National Golf Club in Newburgh, Indiana. The teams will play 36 holes on Friday, 18 on Saturday and 18 more on Sunday.
