State College, Pa. - May 15, 2005 - The Penn State University men's golf team placed eighth the 14th annual Perry Maxwell Invitational at Dornick Hills Country Club in Norman, Okla., today. The Nittany Lions completed the three-round, 11-team event today, firing a 286. Penn State shot scores of 288-27-286 for a plus-12 852. Oklahoma State won the tournament with a 25-under 815.

Nittany Lion junior Mark Leon (Brampton, Ontario) paced Penn State with an 18th-place finish. Leon, who recently earned All-Big Ten laurels, shot rounds of 75-70-71 for a plus-six 216. Freshman Robert Rohanna (Waynesburg, Pa.) finished 27th (73-73-73=219) at plus-nine while classmate Harvin Groft (State College, Pa.) was plus-12 with scores of 74-73-75=222. Brendon Todd of Georgia won the individual championship seven-under 71-67-65=203. Using a proposed scoring system under which team scores were determined by the four lowest individual scores per hole, rather than at the end of the round, OSU captured its seventh tournament title with a 25-under 815, besting Augusta State by one shot. Augusta State led most of the final round after counting four birdies on the par-5 6, had to watch its advantage slip away after counting bogeys on 15 and 17.

Georgia (823, -17) finished third, SMU (825, -15) and Tulsa tied for fourth, Oklahoma (827, -13) slipped from a share of the lead to sixth, Auburn (841, +1) placed seventh, Penn State (852, +12) placed eighth, Texas-Arlington (859, +19) placed ninth, Colorado (862, +22) placed 10th and Oklahoma City (866, +26) completed the field that had a number of teams with home-state players. Penn State now readies itself for its 16th straight appearance in the NCAA Regionals. Penn State, the top seed out of the Mid-Atlantic Region, will compete in the three-day event in Nashville on May 19-21.
