Golf Swings to 7th Place Tourney Finish

The Carson Newman Golf Team placed seventh at the Bobcat Invitational March 26th and 27th hosted by Georgia College and State University. The Eagles finished the three day event (304- 303- 293) with a combined score of 900, 45 strokes behind tournament winner North Alabama (282- 282- 291) 855. After finishing the first two rounds in 11th place, the Eagles rallied for a top ten spot. Corey Hinchey finished with a 71, one over for the tournament, while T.C. Baker and Dane Fairfield shot 74's (+4) for the final round of the tournament and tied for 30th.

"We knew that the teams and the golf course we were competing against were going to be a challenge, said Senior Dane Fairfield. We fought really hard and had a decent finish that will help carry us to a conference title this year."

The Eagles will next compete at the Independent Collegiate Invitational from April 8-10 at the Etowah Valley Country Club in Etowah, North Carolina.
