OWENSBORO, Ky. – It was another sensational performance to end a superb fall season for the Gannon men's golf team.
 
Gannon placed second among 14 teams at the Bill Crabtree Invitational on Tuesday, and two of its golfers placed among the top three. In a strong closing round, Gannon shot an 8-under-par 280 total, the low team score of the final round. The No. 13-ranked Golden Knights moved up one spot in the standings to second with a two-day total of 8-under 568.  Missouri S&T, which is ranked No. 22, won the team title with a two-day total of 18-under-par 558.
 
In addition, a pair of Gannon sophomores, Rasmus Seppanen (Bastad, Sweden/Akademi Bastad Gymnasium) and Mattia Parrini (Verolengo, Italy/Verolengo), surged in the standings, finishing second and third, respectively. Seppanen shot a 4-under 68 and finished in second place with a 5-under 139 total. Meanwhile, Parrini shot the low round of the day – a sparkling 6-under-par 66 – to move into third place with a 4-under 140 score for 36 holes.
 
Parrini's round on Tuesday was particularly strong as he recorded six birdies and 12 pars. He had three birdies on each nine to finish with a 3-under 33 on each side.
 
Seppanen's round included three birdies and an eagle-3 on the par-5 14th hole. He shot 35 on the front nine and 33 on the back nine.
 
Gannon's scoring was rounded out by junior Giovanni Delorenzi (Reggio Emilia, Italy/International School of Modena) (2-under 142) and senior Michael Wareham (Murrysville, Pa./Franklin Regional) (4-over 148).
 
That concludes Gannon's fall season, which included five tournament team titles and four individual titles – three by Parrini and one by Seppanen.
