COLUMBIA, Mo. - The IUPUI men's golf team shot a final round 15-over 303 and finished tied with Northern Illinois for fourth-place at this week's COG Mizzou Intercollegiate at the par-72 The Club at Old Hawthorne. Host Missouri, which held a 20 shot lead heading into Tuesday's final round, maintained that same margin and coasted to the team title at 8-under 856. Iowa State was second at 876 and Austin Peay was third at 880.

Sophomore Rob van de Vin earned his third top 10 finish of the spring with a 3-over 219 (74-73-72), tying for eighth overall. Seniors Michael Davan and Michael Powell tied for 11th overall at 4-over 220. Missouri's Ryan Zech won the tournament by two shots, finishing with an 8-under 208.

IUPUI, which had seemingly perfected the come-from-behind victory so far this season, faced a 20 shot mountain coming into Tuesday's final round and quickly saw it's comeback hopes dashed early in in round three. Powell started 4-over through three holes while Jose Pablo Segurola was 6-over through six. Powell's birdie on No. 5 was the Jaguars' first red number of the day, but IUPUI had fallen out of contention by that point. Powell rebounded late with three birdies on the back nine while van de Vin finished par-birdie-par to get back to even on the day.

Segurola never found his stroke on Tuesday, closing with a final round 81 and senior Ben Engle ended his day at 79.

However, head coach John Andrews' squad held off three Big Ten foes including in-state opponent Purdue.

"For whatever reason, Purdue's the only team from the old District 4 we've never beaten," Andrews said. "It was a really good group of schools and we all played each other quite a bit, but we'd never finished in front of Purdue."

This tournament served as a final tune-up prior to the upcoming Summit League Championships, being held at Primm Valley in Primm, Nev. on Apr. 23-24.
