NINETY SIX, S.C. - The Embry-Riddle Men's Golf team rose two spots to 13th during the final round of the Patriot Fall Classic hosted by Lander. All 19 teams played a little over 18 holes on Tuesday as round two was completed early in the morning. Ian Ball led the way with a five-over-par 221 to place in the top half of the field (T-43rd).

This tournament was a rare occasion for Embry-Riddle as it was the first time the Eagles left the state as a team since the spring of 2023 and the first tournament outside of Florida and Georgia since 2020.
