DAYTON, Ohio – **Due to an official scoring error, junior Fabian Sunden (Sweden) had an inaccurate final round scorecard which required a two-stroke adjustment from the original 1-over par 72 tally to a 1-under par 70 final round score on Tuesday.

As a result, Sunden moved to 12^th overall on the players' leaderboard with a 77-74-70 – 221 (+8) 54-hole performance. In addition, the scoring error impacted the Zips final team total and placement. Akron moved to 9^th in team scoring with a 312-297-304 – 913 (+61) team effort.

For the third straight tournament, Sunden led the Akron men's golf team in scoring. He opened the event with rounds of 77 (+6) and 74 (+3) before registering the 1-under ledger at the Par-71, 7,048-yard NCR Country Club (South Course).

During the final round, he carded his first eagle of the season on the par-5, 558-yard sixth hole to go along with a pair of birdies and 12 par scores. Sunden shot 1-under par on the front-9 with five pars, a birdie, and an eagle while collecting an even-par ledger to finish the round.

He recorded 29 par scores and six birdies, while sophomore Ignacio Puente (Seville, Spain) finished the 54-hole event third for Akron. Puente fired back-to-back 76 (+5) scores to recover from an opening round 81 (+10) total. His 20-over effort landed him tied at 53^rd overall.
