WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Mason Williams led the Georgia Southern men's golf team with a 68 in the final round of the Old Town Club Collegiate Tuesday, and the Eagles finished ninth in the team standings.

Just eight strokes separated 5th-10th as the Eagles finished a shot ahead of Augusta and a stroke behind Rutgers. Colin Bowles carded a 73 today to finish tied for 16th, and Ben Carr tied for 29th.

Williams shot 1-under on the front with birdies at holes 2 and 4 and had a clean back nine with a birdie at 10. Carr played the front even with a birdie at 4 en route to posting a 72, and Bowles finished the tournament with seven consecutive pars.

Quotable from Coach Carter Collins
"We saw lots of good stuff from the guys this week; we just needed a few more red numbers to jump to the front end of the bunched leaderboard."

"We struggled when the wind puffed up, and we weren't as sharp with the tougher pins as we needed to be but we will work hard to get it improved before we leave this weekend."

"This isn't the finish we came for, but it's a solid foundation to build on for the rest of the semester and year."

Next up
The Eagles travel to the JT Poston Invitational in Cashiers, N.C., next Monday and Tuesday. GS is the defending team champion at the event, which is played at the Country Club of Sapphire Valley.
