Farmington, Pa. – Junior Michael Bevins matched his career-low round of 2-under par 70 on Tuesday in posting a career-best, seventh-place finish as competition concluded at the Shepherd's Rock Individual, hosted by West Virginia alongside the Nemacolin Collegiate.
 
Bevins backed up his consecutive rounds of even-par 72 with a 70 over the final 18 holes to post the Top 10. Opening on the first tee, Bevins opened with consecutive birdies before bogeys on No. 3 and No. 8 left him turning for home at even-par. The Fort Myers, Fla., product birdied the par-3 12th for the first time over three rounds, followed by an eagle on the par-5, 538-yard 13th to move to 3-under for the day.
 
Back-to-back bogeys on the 15th and 16th for the first time in the tournament left him at 1-under before a fourth birdie of the day left him at 2-under par, 70.
 
Bevins carded 11 birdies over the 54-hole individual tournament, adding an eagle to his ledger.
 
WCU junior Dalton Payne slipped into a tie for 18th at the conclusion of play with a three-round score of 227, while freshman Connor Williams finished 26th with a 238. Payne battled through his final round, carding a couple of birdies, but seven bogeys and a double-bogey on his 54th hole relegated him to 7-over  79 in the final round. Payne had seven birdies, while Williams posted three birdies over the first 36 holes of the event.

Seton Hall individual Jace Hulett (208) claimed a two-stroke victory over Nick Wermer of Penn State (210), with VCU's Rami Samawi (212) rounding out the podium finishers.
