ZIONSVILLE, Ind. -- The Indiana Hoosiers men's golf team posted a 10-over 294 (293-295-294---882) in Saturday's final round at the NCAA Indiana Regional at Wolf Run Golf Club to finish tied for eighth with Wake Forest and Florida State. Corey Ziedonis fired a 2-under 69 and just missed a spot in a playoff for the low individual not on a top-five team and a birth to the NCAA Finals.

Illinois Luke Guthrie and Michigan's Lion Kim shared individual medalist honors after each finishing 8-under.
Ziedonis (70-74-69---213) ended the tournament tied for 11th overall, his best finish of the 2011 campaign. The Indianapolis, Ind. native had seven birdies on the day, including three in his last four holes on his way to a 3-under 32 on his back nine.
