Georgia Southern is in the midst of a stretch in which the Eagles play four events in four weeks to conclude the fall. GS travels to The Hummingbird Intercollegiate in the mountains of North Carolina for a tournament Monday and Tuesday.

GS is coming off a seventh-place finish at the Shoal Creek Invitational last week, and Steven Fisk picked up his fourth career win by shooting 6-under on the championship course. Freshman Wilson Andress tied for 17th as an individual by carding a 2-over 218.

The Eagles have finished in the top-6 in 13 of their last 18 tournaments, dating back to the 2016-17 campaign.

Fisk will be making his 37th career start for the Eagles, while Carr and Price make their third straight start. Mason Williams and Andress will be in the lineup for the second time this season. Price is a sophomore, while Carr, Andress and Williams are all freshmen. Sophomore Jacob Bayer sees his first action of the season as an individual along with junior Luukas Alakulppi. 


This season marks the 12th-consecutive – and 13th time overall – that Western Carolina and the Country Club of Sapphire Valley have hosted an intercollegiate men's golf tournament.

Next up for the Eagles is a trip to the Fighting Irish Classic in South Bend, where GS finished second to host Notre Dame last year.
