The Georgia Southern golf team shot a 301 in the third round of the 77th Southern Conference Championships to move up one spot and tie for fifth Tuesday at Ralston Creek Course.
Scott Wolfes was named the league’s Golfer of the Year and first-team all-conference. The sophomore won two tournaments, placed first or second in five events and posted seven top-10 finishes.
“Obviously, it’s not the finish we came over here for. We just never seemed to get any mojo going after getting blown off the golf course Sunday,” said Georgia Southern coach Larry Mays. “I was proud of the guys yesterday for coming back with a solid round, but today again, a couple guys got off to bad starts and we couldn’t get all five of them playing well at the same time, which is something you have to do if you want to compete against good teams and win tournaments. We didn’t putt well this week, and that’s something we’ll have to work on and clean up.”
Will Evans finished the tournament with a 225 and tied for 12th. Chris Martin and Hayden Anderson both finished with a 231 while Scott Wolfes tied for 18th with a finish of 227. Christian Humber rounded out the group with a 232.
“Even though it wasn’t the finish we wanted this week, we had a great season with three tournament wins and did enough to expect an NCAA regional bid when they get announced May 6,” said Mays.
