  • Saturday, April 19, 2025

The Chattanooga Mocs are back on the tee Sunday for the Southern Conference Championships. This year’s title tilt returns to Reynolds Lake Oconee’s Oconee Course in Lake Oconee Village, Ga. It’s a 3-day, 54-hole affair.

Seniors Garrett Engle and Braedon Wear headline the card with sophomore Camden Braidech, senior Dalton Chuba and freshman Ethan Whitaker filling out the lineup. Senior Carson Johnson is in the van as well as an alternate.

Play begins Sunday and ends Tuesday with 18 holes per day. Live scoring is available at the link below.

 “It was a really tough week for us. We were competitively sloppy after not playing in an event for a month. It’s going to sound crazy, but we actually did a lot of good things and knocked the rust off. These guys are resilient, so I know they’ll be ready to bounce back at conference.” – Coach Blaine Woodruff on pivoting into the postseason
