Editor's note: For one reason or another, we missed out the Rio Pinar Invitational men's college tournament results from our service last week. Perhaps GolfStat did not put up the final totals at the time. Here they are now:

David Addison joint 75th

in Rio Pinar Invitational

David Addison, a student at the University of Akron, Ohio, finished joint 75th in a field of 108 players at the Rio Pinar Invitational over a par-72, 6978yd course at Rio Pinar Country Club, Orlando, Floriday.
David, pictured right, a winner on the SGU Order of Merit circuit in the past, had scores of 77, 75 and 76 for 228. David now entering his last few months of his four years at Akron.
Welshman Mark Trow from Oswestry, a student at Memphis University, shared 46th place with scores of 76, 69 and78 for 223.
England's Jack Hiluta (South Alabama) shared 64th place on 226 with scores of 80, 75 and 71. Blayne Barber (Central Florida) won the individual honours by two shots with a 12-under-par total of 204, made up onf scores of 71, 64 and 69.
It was a double whammy for Central Florida as they won the team title too by 14 shots with a total of 851.
Texas-Arlington were runners-up with 865 and Louisville - for whom Aberdeenshire student Lewis Kirton did not get a game - finished third on 870. Akron (907) came 20th of 21 so the Akron golf coach had not been a happy chappie.
