ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The Carolina Men's Golf team entered Saturday's final round of the William H. Tucker Invitational in a tie for 17th but after a combined six-over 294 they moved into the top 15. It was their best round of the 54-hole event in which the Tar Heels finished with a 31-over 895. The University of Arizona won the event with a nine-under 855. University of New Mexico and University of Nevada-Las Vegas were the only other schools under par for the championship.
UNLV's Ryan Moore used a seven-under 65 in the final round to move up from a tie in fifth place to take the championship with a 54-hole total of 11-under 205. Spencer Levin of New Mexico took second at 207, while first day leader Henry Liaw of Arizona finished in a tie for third with Texas Tech's Oscar Floren at 209.
For the Tar Heels, sophomore Martin Ureta led the way finishing in a tie for 33rd at five-over 221. However it was junior Kevin Silva's five birdie, two-under par 70 that was the highlight of the final round. Silva's round was a Carolina season best, bettering Ureta's 71 from The Ridges Intercollegiate Sept. 11.
