Georgia Southern returns to action at The Hootie at Bulls Bay Sunday. It's the first time the Eagles have played in the tournament, which began in 2005.

GS is coming off a second-place finish in the Schenkel Invitational, its home tournament, March 18. It's the second straight second-place outing for the Eagles, who have finished in the top-6 in 10 of their last 13 tournaments, dating back to last season.

Jake Storey and Archer Price tied for second at the Schenkel at 11-under-par. Storey has placed in the top-2 in three of four events this spring, and Price has placed in the top-3 in his last two tournaments.  Storey was named Sun Belt Golfer of the Week March 15.

Steven Fisk tied for seventh at the Schenkel, has finished in the top-10 in six of seven events this season, including two wins, and has been named to the Haskins Award Watch List and the Ben Hogan Award Watch List. The junior is currently ranked 14th in the country, according to Golfstat, and has been named Sun Belt Golfer of the Week three times this season.

Fisk became the 13th player in college golf history to shoot 60, reaching the mark in the second round of the Warrior Princeville Makai Invitational in October, and he narrowly missed a 16-footer for birdie on his final hole for 59. His 60 was a school and course record, and he followed that round with a 67 to tie for third.

Fisk, Price and Storey have been in the lineup for the last 18 tournaments, dating back to the start of the 2016-17 campaign. 
Price makes his 39th career start this week, Fisk will make his 31st career start and Jake Storey is in the lineup for the 35th time.

Jonas Vaisanen and Alexander DeRosa are in the lineup for the first time this season. Vaisanen shot 1-under in the Schenkel to tie for 23rd, and DeRosa shot even par 72 in each of the last two rounds of the event. 


Following the Hootie, Georgia Southern travels to the Gary Koch Invitational April 9 and 10 before traveling to the Sun Belt Championship April 22-24.
