SNOW HILL, N.C. – The Temple University men’s golf program wrapped up its three-day, 54-hole tournament in North Carolina on Sunday, with the Owls improving on their Saturday score by an impressive 18 strokes. Senior Aidan Emmerich posted the top score by an Owl all weekend with a one-under par score of 71, and finished in 14th place individually.
