His final round was over par, but that was good enough to earn UNLV freshman Ryan Moore a top-10 finish at the NCAA Men's Golf Championship.
Moore (72-69-68-72-281) began the day at four-under par and tied for sixth place on the individual leaderboard, four strokes behind the leader. But by slipping to one-over in the final round, he was able only to manage a top-10 finish, tying with four other players for eighth.
He was the top player for UNLV (292-289-290-296-1167), which finished in 23rd place, and the only one of the five-man lineup to end under par. Freshman J.C. Deacon (73-76-69-74-292) was the closest Rebel, finishing in a tie for 74th at eight-over.
