Men's Golf
The Rhodes Men's Golf hosted its' Fall Invitational at Tunica National GC, and for the 2nd time in the 23-year history of the event the Lynx came away as tournament champions in the field of 16 schools. The team had a balanced performance, with Senior Avery Stansell, Junior Billy Gussler, and Freshman John Bates all tying for 7th place at 4-over par. In the first round Gussler posted his career-low round of 5-under par 67 and Bates posted his career-low round of 2-under par 70. Senior Foster Wood posted rounds of 70-71-81 to finish tied for 13th. Head Coach Tom Campbell said, "I am really pleased with our result from this week, after having struggled in our first two tournaments. We didn't place anyone on the All-Tournament team but ended up being Team Champions, which shows the depth and balance of our roster. We're looking forward to continuing to grow as players and a team after this performance".
