Robinson Finishes Tied for Third in Georgia

Rattlers place two in top 15 of KSU event

KENNESAW, Ga. – Sascha Robinson fired a team-low 214 (-2) across three rounds in helping Florida A&M Men's Golf to a sixth-place finish at The Scrappy at Pinetree hosted by Kennesaw State at Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw, Georgia. The tournament was held over the course of October 12-13.
 
Georgia State's Cameron Jackson won the individual title at 5-under 211, shooting 68-70-73 on the 7,077-yard, par-72 course. Jackson opened with the low round of the first day, a 68, and held off Alabama's Michael Crocker – participating as an individual for the Crimson Tide, who finished one stroke back at 4-under 212.
 
FAMU's Sascha Robinson and Kennesaw State's Alejandro Caraballo tied for third at 214 (-2), and Jacksonville's Brandon Lohr was fifth at 1-under 215. Those five were the only players in the field to finish under par, respectfully.

Robinson opened with a two-over 74 for the Orange and Green, only to bounce back and fire consecutive two-under 70 rounds on his final scorecards.
 
As a team, the Rattlers finished at 879, 15 over par, one stroke behind Samford and two behind Georgia State.
 
FAMU shot 301 in the opening round, then improved by 18 strokes with a 283 in the second, the second-lowest team round of the tournament. A closing 295 secured sixth place.
 
Skyler Woods tied for 15th at 3-over 219 for the Orange and Green, with his second-round 67 serving as the lowest single round of the tournament.
 
Continuing in the FAMU scoring were Emilio Garcia and Vicente Rodriguez – the latter of the two playing as an individual in the field – tied for 42nd at 225 (+9). Mikail Darmawan, affectionately known as "MJ", tied for 49th at 227 (+11). And it was Taylor Bell tied for 53rd at 228 (+12).
 
Host Kennesaw State won the team title at 1-under 863, the only team to finish under par. The Owls shot 294, 280 and 289, and their second-round 280 was the lowest team round of the tournament. UT Martin took second at 7-over 871, eight strokes back, and IU Indy was third at 12-over 876. Georgia State (877) and Samford (878) rounded out the top five.
