ROCKVILLE, Md. – The James Madison men's golf team finished fifth at the 2014 Maryland Terrapin Invitational, Oct. 13-14. The two-day, 54-hole tournament was played at Woodmont Country Club (Par 72 – 7,250 yards) in Rockville, Md.

Concluding the fog-suspended second round on Tuesday, the Dukes cut 12 shots off their opening round with a 3-over 291 and then followed it up with a 10-over 298 in the third and final round to finish fifth at 28-over 892. Host Maryland won the tournament at 4-over 868, five shots ahead of runner-up Loyola (Md.) at 9-over 893. From there, the next three teams were separated by just three shots, as Elon was third at 25-over 889, Boston College in fourth at 26-over 890 and James Madison in fifth.

Sophomore Poom Pattaropong (Minburi, Bangkok, Thailand/Heritage Academy (S.C.)) made a move up the leaderboard with his 3-under 69 in the second round and followed it up with a 2-over 74 in the last 18 to finish at 3-over 219, good for a tie for seventh. It was his top finish of the fall and tied his career-best placing in a tournament.
