Georgia Southern will compete in the Spartan Collegiate March 8-9 at Sea Island Golf Club Plantation Course. It's the Eagles' third straight appearance in the event, which was played at Colleton River in Bluffton, South Carolina, the last two seasons. GS won the tournament last season, and four Eagles - Colin Bowles (T3), Ben Carr (T3), Mason Williams (T3) and Jake Maples (T9) – finished in the top-10. Brett Barron tied for 27th.
Georgia Southern is coming off a seventh-place finish at the Seminole Collegiate Feb. 21, in field that featured eight top-50 teams, according to Golfstat, including No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 14 Duke and No. 17 Florida State. Carr shot 3-under to tie for 11th, the team's best individual finish.
Barron and Maples are playing a fifth season after the NCAA granted an extra year of eligibility to all spring sport student-athletes because of COVID-19. Both played in the first five tournaments and are slated to be in the lineup this week along with Williams, Carr and Avery Price.
Barron makes his 37th career start this week and has been in the lineup in the last 18 tournaments, and Carr makes his 24th start in the lineup for the Eagles. Maples makes his 17th career start in the lineup, and Williams makes his 19th career start. Price will be in the lineup for the second time this season and the 11th time in his career.
The Eagles tee off holes 8-10 in a shotgun start at 8 a.m.
Following the weekend, GS will host the 41st Schenkel Invitational, one of the premiere tournaments in college golf, March 19-21, at Forest Heights Country Club in Statesboro.
