KANNAPOLIS, N.C. - Four members of the Appalachian State University men's golf team competed in the Irish Creek Intercollegiate on Monday, before Tuesday's final round was cancelled due to the heavy rain in the Kannapolis area. Freshman Caleb Keck led the Mountaineers, tying for 19^th in the 89-player field with a 76 (+5).

Following Keck with matching 79s (+8) were senior Nick Buckwell and sophomore Eric Eberspeaker, as they tied for 44^th place. Rounding out the Appalachian scoring was sophomore Andrew Furr with an 80 (+9) and a 53^rd place finish.

The Mountaineers enter their first team tournament on Sunday, March 10 as they host the Bash at the Beach at The Surf Golf and Beach Club in North Myrtle Beach, S.C. The three-day tournament saw 15 teams in the field last season, as Appalachian claimed an 11^th place finish.
