AURORA, Ohio - The final round of the 2019 Mid-American Men's Golf Championships was canceled Sunday morning due to poor conditions at the par-72, 7,202-yard Club Walden course.
As a result of the cancellation, University of Toledo senior
Duncan McNeill became the fifth Rocket in program history to capture medalist honors at the conference championships. Ciaran McAleavey was the last Toledo golfer to do so in 2008 with the Rockets' other MAC medalists including Brad Heaven in 2004, Mike Stone in 1992 and Tim Hirt in 1979, 1980 and 1981. Tim Rice tied for first place in 1997.
Â
McNeill tallied an impressive five-under 139 (71-68) over 36 holes and finished three strokes in front of Kent State's Gisli Sveinbergsson (71-71=142).
Â
Toledo finished third in the team standings at 21-over par 597.
Â
Kent State and Eastern Michigan tied for first place at five-over par 581 to share the championship. The Golden Flashes earned the league's automatic NCAA Regional qualifying spot on a tiebreaker -- cumulative total of non-counting scores.
Â
The tournament was originally scheduled for 72 holes but the course was also unplayable on Friday due to heavy rains in the area.
