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.
