EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Ohio University men's golf team finished seventh at a rain-shortened Fossum Invitational on Sunday, carding a total of 773 (+53) in the 45-hole event. Due to rain on Saturday, teams finished second-round action on Sunday morning, and shortened the third round of just nine holes.

Warmbein has collected four top-20 finishes this season and eight in his career at Ohio.

Junior Stewart Jamieson (Worthington, Ohio) rode a two-under 70 in the second round to a total of 192 (+12) for the weekend en route to a tie for 23rd place, while classmate Tim Gusweiler (Loveland, Ohio) finished the tournament in a tie for 29th with a tally of 195 (+15).
