LYNX FINISH 2ND AT SCAC CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP
FOUR PLAYERS EARN SCAC ALL CONFERENCE

“We saved our best golf for the last day of the tournament with a team score of 300, but it just wasn't enough to catch Oglethorpe University," said Coach Bill Cochran, as the Lynx finish 2nd in the SCAC  Golf Championship played at Tunica National Golf Club in Tunica , Mississippi.

Trailing by 13 shots after the first two rounds, the margin was reduced to 4 shots going to the final hole. “We gave them a big scare," said Coach Cochran!   The final round charge was led by Bill Bazzel shooting a one over par 73 and Doug Gordon, who played the final nine holes in two under par to record a 74. These were the two low rounds on the final day under very adverse conditions. Bill's three day total of 226 earned him the runner-up spot just one shot behind SCAC champion Scott Pugh of Oglethorpe.

“The winds blew 20-25 miles per hour with guest up to at least 40 miles per hour all three days of the tournament," said Coach Cochran. “I was really PROUD OF OUR TEAM for the way we hung in there and handled ourselves in the very windy, challenging conditions”.
