PEARLAND, Texas – Bob MacIntyre shot a 1-over 73 in Tuesday's final round of the Bayou City Collegiate Classic here Tuesday, but his three straight pars to end the round helped him tie for first on the individual leaderboard with Houston's Matt Dunn at 5-under for the round.
 
MacIntyre, who won the individual title at the USM Sam Hall Intercollegiate a month ago, lost on the second hole of the playoff to Dunn as the Cowboys slipped on the team leaderboard for an eighth place finish after shooting 16-over on the day with a final round score of 304.
 
"We struggled again today off the tee," said head coach Austin Burk. "You can't do that on this course and make pars all day.
 
"Bob had another nice event. He knows what it takes to win and comes to each event with that expectation."
 
MacIntyre started the round 6-under and with a two-stroke lead and went to 7-under right away after a birdie on the first hole. He hit some trouble from holes 4 through 9 with four bogeys but he regrouped and made a birdie on No. 13 then sank an eagle on the par 5 No. 14 to get back to even on the day. He dropped a stroke with a bogey on 15 then drained pars the final three holes.
 
Martin Eriksson recorded the lowest score of the day for the Cowboys with an even-par 72 and finished 7-over for the tournament and in a tie for 26^th place. Ericksson eagled No. 1 and had birdies on 11, 14, and 15 to offset a bogey on No. 2 and double-bogeys on Nos. 6 and 17.
 
Houston won the team title with a three-round score of 870 to finish 6-over for the tournament but it was the team's 11-under on the final round that slid it past North Texas (872) for the title.
 
Other Cowboy finishes had Andreas Krokeide at 6-over for the day and 10-over for the tournament; Duncan McNeill with an 88 on Tuesday while Ian Berrigan shot an 81.
 
McNeese will take off until Oct. 26 when it hosts the Quail Valley Intercollegiate that will be played at the Quail Valley Golf Club in Vero Beach, Florida.
