GREENSBORO, N.C. – Lee Poppell tied for sixth, and Troy finished fifth as the Trojans closed out their fall campaign at the Qubein Cup, which concluded Tuesday at the Sedgefield Country Club.
Poppell shot 2-over on the par-70 course, carding eight birdies over 54 holes, including five in Tuesday's final round. He opened with a 1-under 69 in Monday's first round and was 3-over in round two, which spanned both Monday and Tuesday due to darkness at the end of the round.
Troy shot 34-over for the week as teams battled cold, windy conditions across all three rounds. No. 49 Chattanooga won the team title at 10-over, followed by UTSA (+24), UNC Wilmington (+29) and Loyola Maryland (+32). The Trojans finished a couple of shots ahead of James Madison and 26 shots ahead of App State.
Thomas Crane battled around par for most of the week before finishing 9-over and tied for 17th place after rounds of 73, 74 and 72, with three birdies. Pablo Gracia also carded three birdies in the tournament, finishing tied for 29th at 13-over.
Lawton Emblom tied for 46th place at 17-over, while Jack Lowery was a shot back, tied for 53rd. Playing as an individual in his season debut, Haston Emblom tied for 69th at 28-over.
Troy finished fourth in the field on the par 4s and tied for fourth on the par 3s, while the team carded 166 pars, the third most in the field. Lawton Emblom closed the week 1-under on the par 3s, good for third in the field, while Poppell's 3-over on the par 4s ranked fourth.
The Trojans are done competing until Feb. 7-9, when they travel to Cancun, Mexico, for The Compadres Collegiate.
