Golf Places Eleventh at Rod Myers Invitational

Durham, N.C. - The Georgia Southern Golf team was unable to recover from a tough opening round on Saturday, finishing the two-day, 54-hole Rod Myers Invitational in eleventh place. The Eagles struggled to find their game during the weekend, finishing 55-over par (919) on the 7,136 yard, par 72 course. Duke was the only team to finish under par for the tournament, shooting 3-under par (861) to win the title on their home course at the Duke University Country Club. Blue Devil Julian Suri finished 5-under (211) to lead in the individual standings.

Freshman Scott Wolfes (St. Simons Island, Ga.) tied for 32nd place individually at 11-over par (76+72+79=227) to earn high finisher honors for the Eagles. Wolfes' even-par 72 in the second round on Saturday was also the low round of the weekend for Georgia Southern.

"We got off to a bad start Saturday morning and never recovered," said Head Coach Larry Mays. "We made too many mistakes, struggled on some pretty tough holes and paid for it against a really good field this weekend."

The Eagles will have two weeks of practice time to prepare for the Auto Trader Collegiate Classic, as the fall schedule continues at the Berkeley Hills Country Club in Duluth, Georgia on Monday, October 17.
