Eagles in second palce at Wynlakes Wynter Nationals

(MONTGOMERY, Ala.) The Meridian Community College golf team fired a 303 team score in the first round of the 2010 Wynlakes Wynter Nationals hosted by Huntingdon College in Montgomery on Monday.

MCC is currently in second place out of 13 teams, the Eagles are 13 strokes behind leader Huntingdon College, the host Hawks fired a 290 on their home track.

MCC was led by freshman Brandt Garon with a round of 74 (+2). Garon is in a tie for sixth place individually.

Freshman Clemens Dvorak is in the top ten (tied for ninth) after an opening round of 75 (+3).

Rounding out the Eagles scoring was Adam Monsen 76 (+4), Garrett Westbrook 78 (+6) and Cory Williamson 79 (+7).

“Traditionally in the spring season, especially early in February and March, you see above average scoring simply due to weather conditions and course conditions,” said MCC head coach Sean Covich.

“Today was a great example of that, we shoot 303 our highest score of the year yet we’re still in second palce in a great tournament.”

Huntingdon leads with a 290, MCC in second with a 303, Faulkner University is in third with a 305, University of Montevallo is in fourth with a 306 and Birmingham-Southern College rounds out the top five with a 310.
