Third Place

At SSAC Golf Tournament

The annual event is being staged at the Columbus Country Club. Eight teams will tee it up again on Tuesday and the winner will earn an automatic berth to the NAIA national tournament when play is completed late Wednesday.

While coach John Maupin would like to have seen his fourth or fifth place team member post a lower member on Monday, he still feels his club has a legitimate shot at overtaking William Carey and Shorter. "Playing 54 holes instead of 36 takes How To Solve Putting Problems a little of the pressure off," pointed out the Lee coach. "We need to make up some ground on William Carey on Tuesday and try to pull even with Shorter. If we can, I like our chances."Former Walker Valley golfer Hunter Vest put a positive spin on Monday's play and at the banquet which immediately followed the first round. Vest not only fired a 1-under 71 to pace the Flames, he was named the SSAC Freshman of the Year and also earned a spot on the All-SSAC team.

JB Eksteen joined Vest on the All-SSAC squad. The sophomore finished Monday's round with a 1-over 73. Junior Jeremy Lawson carded a 2-over 74 and junior Caleb Roberson followed at 79. Tyler Smith struggled and came in at 80. He is Lee's third member of the All-SSAC team. The top round of Monday's play belonged to Faulkner's Jo Soar. He tallied a 4-under 68.
