UTC Golf Teams Second At SoCon Championships

  • Sunday, April 23, 2017

The Chattanooga Mocs women’s golf team is in second place through 18 holes of the Southern Conference Golf Championships. The Mocs traversed the Country Club of Lexington scoring 300.

 

The 12-over total was led by Holly Morgan and Megan Woods with 2-over 74s. Cristina Perez and Monica San Juan added 76s, while Maria Pineiro had the drop score of 78.

 

It was a good start for the Mocs. The counters were 3 under through the first four holes with Perez recording birdies at the par 3 two and par 3 fourth hole. Woods birdied three in the hot start.

 

The team made the turn at 1 over when the winds picked up making scoring difficult on the final nine. Five of the squad’s seven birdies came over the first eight holes.

 

Furman is the leader at 8 under. ETSU (301) is in third, one behind the Mocs with Mercer (303) and UNCG (306) in fourth and fifth, respectively. The Bucs’ Loy Hee Ying is tied for the lead with Furman teammates Natalie Srinivasan and Alice Chen at 3-under par 69. Morgan and Woods are tied for sixth.

 

There’s an old sports adage that goes “it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish”. The Chattanooga Mocs men’s golf team is trying to prove it at the Southern Conference Championships on Pinehurst No. 9.
 
The Mocs shot 20-over par 308 over the initial 18 holes, but bounced back with a 2-over 290, the low round of the day. It puts them in a tied for second with UNCG, six shots behind ETSU at 592.
 
Senior Wes Gosselin is in second-place with a 1-over 145. He turned in 73 and 72 to sit one shot behind the Bucs’ Geuntae Kim at E after a hole-in-one on 17 in round two.
 
Gosselin’s not alone in the top 10. Etienne Brault is tied for fifth at 4 over. He responded from an opening 78 by firing 2-under 70 in round two. It was the low round of the tournament.
 
Brooks Thomas is tied for ninth, two behind Brault at plus 6. He turned in 76 and 74 over his 36 today. Phillip Hickam and Stuart Thomas are tied for 24th at 11 over shooting matching tallies of 81 and 74.
