LIMESTONE GOLF FINISHES 9TH AT AASU/SOUTHBRIDGE PIRATE INVITATIONAL

SAVANNAH, Ga.—The Limestone College men’s golf team finished 9th at the Armstrong Atlantic State University/Southbridge Pirate Invitational on Tuesday. The Saints carded a two-round score of 615 (305-310) at the par-72, 6922-yard Southbridge Golf Club.

The 11-team field teed off in a shotgun start at 8 a.m. in a strategy to beat incoming rain showers, and it worked as all players were able to finish just 15 minutes before rain began to fall over the Southbridge Golf Club course.

Craig Parris was the Saints’ top finisher as he carded 149 (72-77) to tie for 16th in the 59-golfer field. Kyle Parker finished tied for 36th (79-76 155), Brad Williams tied for 41st (76-81 157), and Ben Ross tied for 48th (82-76 158). Kyle Scruggs was 54th (78-86 164).

Clayton State University posted 581 to take first in the 11-team tournament. Georgia College and State University finished second (298-286 584), and Coker College was third (297-293 590). Lander University (296-295 591) and Newberry College (295-299 594) were fourth and fifth, respectively.
