KANNAPOLIS, N.C. - Senior Neal Shipley of the James Madison men's golf team picked up his third straight top-15 individual finish on Sunday afternoon, leading the way as the Dukes took 11th at the Irish Creek Intercollegiate, hosted at The Club at Irish Creek (par 71, 7,099 yards).

Shipley racked up 16 birdies across three rounds, tied for fourth-most in the 92-player field, as he carded 67-71-71 to tie for 12th at 209 (-4) for the weekend. The performance was his second-lowest 54-hole score of the season, while his opening round was just one shot off his collegiate best to par.

Freshman Daniel Cheng continued his strong spring, posting 74-70-73 on the weekend to tie for 53rd at 217 (+4). His second round marked his ninth round of par or better in just 18 chances this season, third-most on the team.

Redshirt junior Nick Schlickenrieder (74-72-74) and senior George Heath (72-72-76) tied for 67th at 220 (+7) for the week, while senior Ignacio Montero (84-70-72) closed out the JMU scoring in a tie for 82nd.
