The Emory men's golf team finished its opening action of 2021 on Sunday at the Tiger Invitational.  The 36-hole event was played on the 6,925-yard, par-71 Forest Creek Golf Club North Course. 

The No. 2-ranked Eagles shot a final-round score of 294 to finish with a mark of 585, good for fifth place out of 14 teams.  No. 5-ranked Methodist took home the top spot with an effort of four-over par 580 (289-291), one shot better than No. 2 Huntingdon (292-289), No. 7 Piedmont (292-289) and Guilford (295-286).

Emory junior Max Schwarz distinguished himself by tying Pierce Robinson of Washington and Lee for medalist honors out of 70 competitors at seven-under 137.  Schwarz tied his career best with a four-under par 68 over the final 18 holes, chalking up five birdies with just one bogey.  Schwarz's performance enabled him to tie the program record for the best score for a 36-hole tournament.  Contributing to the team's scoring efforts were Logan Ryan and Grant Drogosch, both shooting 74, and Davis Hingtgen with a 78.  Freshman Logan Lowery carded an 84.  For the tournament, Ryan and Hingtgen tied for 26^th on the leader board at five-over par 149 while Drogosch tied for 30^th overall with a 150.  Lowery, making his collegiate debut, totaled a 162.
