Greensboro, Ga. – Anders Albertson completed a bogey-free round of 68 (-4) Sunday to finish fourth individually, and Georgia Tech held on to its fourth-place team standing in the weather-shortened Linger Longer Invitational.
Albertson, a sophomore from Woodstock, Ga., finished 36 holes with a 4-under-par score of 140, four strokes behind Alabama’s Cory Whitsett, who finished off a second-round 70 Sunday to post a tournament total of 137 (-7). South Florida’s Richard James (68 Sunday) and Georgia’s Nicholas Reach (70) tied for second a 6-under 138.
It was the second top-10 finish this year for Albertson. Ollie Schniederjans completed a 3-under-par 69 Sunday and wound up a 1-under 143 to tie for 10th, recording his fourth top-10 of the year. Seth Reeves (148, +4) posted a 73 Sunday and tied for 32nd, while Michael Hines (149, +5) carded a 74 and tied for 36th.
Alabama, ranked No. 2 in the nation, ran away with the team title for the third straight year after posting a 9-under-par 279 Sunday. Four of the five Crimson Tide players finished in the top 10, lifting their team to a tournament total of 560 (-16), 16 strokes clear of co-host Kennesaw State (E).
