It was a record-setting weekend for the Michigan men's golf team in Greensboro, North Carolina, as numerous impressive individual results led to a fourth-place finish in the Intercollegiate Bridgestone at Forest Oaks Country Club.

Spirits were high on Saturday as the team seemed to be firing on all cylinders. But Sunday's final round left much to be desired and prevented the Wolverines from competing for the title, ultimately claimed by North Carolina.

“Obviously, I was a little disappointed with the way we finished," Michigan coach Andrew Sapp said. "But we were able to compete with some great teams. We didn't put three solid rounds together.”

Michigan tied a school record for lowest team round, posting a formidable 13-under par 275 in the second round, which was surpassed only by the Tar Heels' 268, best out of the 14-team field.

The Wolverines also finished with three in the top-10 in the individual standings.

Junior Matt Thompson had a season-best six-under 66 in the second round to springboard himself to a sixth place finish in a brilliant performance. Senior Lion Kim's seven-under 65 in the first round was a career-best.

Kim's first round combined with two successive even-par 72's propelled him to seventh on the individual leaderboard.

Freshman Joey Garber followed up his near-victory at the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate last week by tying for eighth at six-under par.

“Two great finishes to finish off the season is a huge boost for (Garber),” Sapp said. “There was great leadership this week from (Kim) and (Thompson).

Michigan has traditionally participated in the Bridgestone Intercollegiate as the closing event to its fall season and the success there is not far from the norm. In the previous two seasons, the Wolverines' trip to the tournament led to third-place finishes in historically strong fields that typically include several ranked schools.

Next up for the Wolverines is a four-month hiatus before Big Ten Match Play commences in February in Coral Springs, Florida. Sapp certainly hopes that the moderate success found during fall play, which included a team title at the Windon Memorial Classic in September, carries over into the spring.

“We start our offseason tomorrow,” Sapp said. "We will condition five days a week to be ready for the season come second semester."
