Coming off a team and individual title at The Hummingbird Intercollegiate, the Eagles travel to the Fighting Irish Classic, where they finished second last year. Georgia Southern is in the midst of a stretch in which the Eagles play four events in four weeks to conclude the fall.

GS shot 822 at The Hummingbird, besting the school record of 828 they fired at last season's Fighting Irish Classic. The Eagles first competed in the tournament, hosted by Notre Dame, in 2013, when they finished fourth.

GS will use the same lineup, which features three freshmen, a sophomore and a senior, as last week. Senior Steven Fisk, who tied for first at this event last season, is coming off back-to-back victories, the fourth and fifth of his career. Freshman Mason Williams tied for fifth last week after shooting a 65 in the final round, and classmate Wilson Andress tied for seventh. Freshman Ben Carr tied for 10th, and sophomore Avery Price tied for 26th.

The Eagles have finished in the top-6 in 14 of their last 19 tournaments, dating back to the 2016-17 campaign.

Fisk will be making his 38th career start for the Eagles, while Carr and Price make their fourth straight start. Williams and Andress will be in the lineup for the third time this season. Jacob Bayer plays as an individual for the second consecutive week.


The Eagles will be paired with Michigan and Nebraska for the first two rounds and will tee off holes 7-10 in a shotgun start Sunday. 

Next up for the Eagles is the AutoTrader Collegiate Classic, an event the Eagles won last season behind Fisk's school and tournament record 197, which also earned him medalist honors.
