Seniors Olafur Loftsson and Paul Ferrier posted their best rounds of the tournament as the Charlotte 49ers finished 8th at the 12-team Linger Longer Invitational.

Loftsson had five birdies on his way to a one-under par 71 while Ferrier had three birdies to shoot even par.  In the final round, Charlotte shot 302 as a team, however, falling one spot in the standings to eighth place.

"We did some good things and got off to a pretty good start," said 49ers head coach Ryan Cabbage.  "We just couldn't quite capitalize on it.  There are some things we still need to work on to get better with."

Loftsson's one-under par 71 helped him climb into 26th place at four-over par 220 (76-73-71).  Ferrier finished at four-over par as well (73-75-72).

"Oli was obviously playing very well.  He made a lot of good putts and had 10 putts on his first nine holes," Cabbage added.  "Paul did some nice things as well."

Joe Toland (79), Tyler Mitchell (80) and Raoul Menard (81) rounded out the 49ers scoring.  Mitchell finished at 11-over par 227 while Menard was 13-over par 229.  Toland was 17-over, 233.

Alabama won the tournament at 26-under par, 838, 14 strokes ahead of runner-up Georgia (12-under par, 852).  Those were the only two teams that finished under par.  Charlotte finished eighth at 30-over par, 894.

The 49ers return home for next week's Irish Creek Collegiate in Kannapolis.

"We are looking forward to coming back home for Irish Creek," said Cabbage.  "We get back home on a golf course we're familiar with."
