Campbell men finish 3rd at True Blue

Lilja ties for sixth at 9-under par

PAWLEY'S ISLAND, S.C. – Henrik Lilja tied for sixth individually and Campbell moved up three more places to finish third in the team standings after Tuesday's final round of the Golfweek Fall Challenge at True Blue Golf Course. 
 
Lilja (74-64-69—207) followed Monday's collegiate career-low, 8-under 64 with a three-under 69 to finish the event at 9-under par.  He started the day four-over through five holes, but made eight birdies the rest of the way.  He tied for second in the field with 17 birdies and in par-5 scoring (-8), while finishing the par-4 holes at 4-under (T7th).
 
Harry Jones of Wofford (65-68-66—199) won individual honors at 17-under on the par-72, 7005-yard Mike Strantz design.  Delaware was 18-under as a team on Tuesday (283-281-270—834) and edged Mercer (278-274-288—835) by one shot for the team title.  Campbell finished at 19-under 845 (292-279-274) in the 18-team event.
 
Campbell freshman Henric Bjelke (70-73-70—213) birdied two of his final three holes to finish at 3-under and in a tie for 21st in his collegiate debut.  Bjelke made 14 birds, played the par fives at 4-under and was one-under on the par-3s.
 
Edwin Blomander moved up to finish in a tie for 26th after shooting a collegiate low 7-under 65 Tuesday.  His day included six birdies and an eagle.  The only blemish on Blomander's scorecard was a bogey on the par-four 18th.  He finished the 54-hole event with 11 birdies and played the par-5 holes at 5-under.
 
Claude Churchward tied for 35th (73-73-70—215) and even-par 216, while Romain Lanteri tied for 74th (80-69-76--225).  Churchward's solid outing included 34 pars, 11 birdies and a 4-under showing on the par-4 holes.  Lanteri made 12 birdies and played the par-5 layouts at 5-under.
 
Campbell returns to action Sept. 20-21 with the Battle at Briar's Creek at Johns Island, S.C.
