TOLEDO, Ohio \u2014\u00a0No. 5 Texas Tech finished the Inverness Intercollegiate in fourth place on Tuesday, led by a career performance from senior Ben Gregg<\/a>, who earned the best individual finish of his career by tying for second at Inverness Club.<\/p>\n

Gregg was one of just three players in the 90-player field to finish under par, carding a 2-under 211 across 54 holes to tie Clemson’s Oscar Holm-Bredkjaer for second. Host Toledo’s Bence Bertenyi claimed medalist honors at 3-under 210.<\/p>\n

Gregg carded a 1-over 72 in Tuesday’s final round while playing in the final group. He walked to the 18th hole with a chance to force a tie for the individual lead, but his birdie attempt missed by a foot before he tapped in for par to finish at 2-under for the tournament.<\/p>\n

Gregg was even par through 11 holes on Tuesday after recording two birdies and two bogeys. A double bogey on the par-3 12th dropped him off the leading pace, but he responded with a birdie on No. 14 before closing with four consecutive pars.<\/p>\n

The runner-up finish marks Gregg’s best career individual finish and his second career top-five finish. His previous best finish at a team event was third place at last season’s Valspar Collegiate Invitational.<\/p>\n

As a team, Texas Tech shot an 8-over 292 in Tuesday’s final round to finish at 14-over 866. No. 2 Auburn captured the team title at 11-over 863, while Toledo and East Tennessee State tied for second at 12-over 864. Toledo shot a field-best 7-under 277 in the final round, seven shots better than any other team Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Simon Hovdal<\/a> led the remaining Red Raiders with a tie for 19th at 6-over 219 after shooting a 2-over 73 in the final round. Adam Bresnu<\/a>, Connor Graham<\/a> and Tim Wiedemeyer<\/a> all tied for 36th at 8-over 221. Bresnu carded a 2-over 73, Graham shot a 3-over 74, while Wiedemeyer shot a 6-over 77 in the final round.<\/p>\n

The Red Raiders will continue their fall schedule Friday at the OFCC\/Fighting Illini Invitational in Olympia Fields, Illinois. The three-day event runs through Sunday, with one round scheduled each day. Texas Tech will have Wednesday off for travel before a practice round Thursday.<\/p>\n
