Texas A&M University-Commerce lowered its team score by nine strokes in Tuesday's final round of the Crawford-Wade Invitational at the Tanglewood Golf Resort & Spa in Pottsboro. 

Overshadowing the nine-stroke improvement by the Lions was the 13-stroke improvement by East Central that sparked the Tigers to the team title. With improved conditions on Tuesday, including the presence of sunshine and absence of rain, the entire field benefited. 

A&M-Commerce freshman Tyler Duffy (pictured) from Lone Oak continued his consistent play from Monday as he posted a 76 on Tuesday for a 36-hole total of 154 (78-76) to share seventh-place honors along with four others including teammate Eric Westerman. The senior from Victoria, Texas lowered his score from Monday by a team-best six strokes for a total of 154 (80-74). 

The victorious Tigers were led by medalist Travis Keeley, who shot a 5-over par 149 (74-75) and Zac Pool, who shared second with four others with a 151 (77-74).

Also in the top 15 in the A&M-Commerce lineup was Dustin Gideon, who posted a 157 (79-78). Rounding out the lineup was T.J. McColl, who shot his second-straight 81 for a 162 (81-81) to share 35th-place honors.

Playing as an individual, Ryan Gornto from Royse City tied for 26th with a 159 (79-80) and Darren Whitehouse finished 62nd with a 177 (88-89).

The Lions as a team led the field with 15 birdies as well as six-over par play on par 5 holes. Duffy and Gideon each had four birdies to lead A&M-Commerce. In addition, Duffy was one of the top players in the field with his two-under play in par 5 scoring and six-over par on par 4 scoring. 

The next tournament for A&M-Commerce is the Red River Intercollegiate in Thackerville, Oklahoma, March 8-9, the same site of the 2010 Lone Star Conference Tournament.
