CAMBRIDGE, Md. -- The University of Rhode Island men's golf team finished 17th overall at the inaugural Maryland Intercollegiate Golf Tournament, held at the River Marsh Golf Course (par 71-6801 yards) at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Resort.

The Rams posted a two-round total of 617 (311-306). Arkansas captured the tournament with a team total of 544 (272-272).

The event was shortened to just 36 holes of play due to poor weather conditions, caused by Tropical Storm Hanna.

Mark Stevens tied for 73rd overall, with a score of 155. He carded a first-day 83, but finished with a strong round of 73 on the second day.

Bill McDonald tied for 79th, with rounds of 80 and 77 (157), while Cody Larson was one stroke behind (77-81=158) and tied for 81st. Patrick Pelletier rounded out the URI golfers with a two-day total of 163 (81-82), good for a tie for 88th place. Ethan Tracy from Arkansas was the top finisher posting a ten-under-par (132).

The Rams return to action on Sept. 21-23, when they host the 15th Annual Adams Cup of Newport, held at the Newport National Golf Club.
