SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. - The Royals, who closed the year off on a tremendous note winning the Conference Carolinas Tournament, seem to have picked up right where they left off last season wrapping up the Smokey Mountain Intercollegiate with a second place finish
ย
Queens University of Charlotte finished with a two-day total of 585 (294-291), which left them seven shots behind winner Clayton State, and six shots clear of third place Lee University. Taking home the individual title was Matt Emery from Lee University who posted a three under par total of 141 (70-71).
ย
Leading the way for the Royals were junior Jake McLaren and sophomore Evan Rulhing who both finished with two day totals of 146 (73-73) and (74-72) respectively. The 36-hole score placed the two in a tie for ninth.
ย
Freshman Michael Wilhelm again played well posting a 75 and finishing with a two round total of 147 and a T-12 finish beating out fellow teammate Jordan Bilodeau by one shot 148 (T-19). Rounding out the starting five was Alex Weare who bounced back nicely with a round of 73 following yesterday's 78. His 151 total left him in a tie for 37th while individual competitor Freddie Nordhoff had the round of the day for the Royals posting a one under 71. Nordhoff's 147 placed him in a tie for 12th with Wilhem.

The Royals were very consistent on the round not having a single player above 75. Something that Queens head coach Sam Puryear was very pleased about. "Three over is a very respectable score and we got production from every player on the team," stated Puryear. "We fought hard and I was very proud of the guys. This is a great start to our season and I expect this to help us build for the rest of the season."
ย
The Royals will look to continue their streak of good play on September 23 and 24 as they will participate in the 54-hole Flagler College Jennison Memorial hosted by Flagler College.
