ST. AUGUSTIN, Fla. - The Queens University of Charlotte men's golf team continued its recent success this week at the Jay Jennison Memorial hosted by Flagler College.
The Royals, who were in seventh place after the first two rounds, tied for the low round (290) of the day and vaulted up to a second place finish. This is the second consecutive runner-up finish for the young Royals team. The 876 total left the Royals eleven strokes behind team winner Flagler College (865).
Leading the way was individual champion Alex Weare. Weare posted rounds of 68, 70 and 74 to take home the title by a single stroke over Bryan Fox of Georgia College. The win is the first for the junior from Manchester, England who has dedicated this season to his late grandfather who passed away earlier this year.
"He was a huge influence in originally getting me started in the game and a true inspiration as he continued to play into his 90s," Weare said. "I promised him I would get a win for him and it feels great having kept my promise!"
Jake McLaren continued his stellar play this season with another under par round of 71 leaving him at four over par (220) for the tournament and a T-19 finish. Freshman Michael Wilhelm again impressed finishing in 28th but bouncing back from a tough first round of 78 to post 71 and 73 in rounds two and three respectively.
Evan Ruhling showed his development is still heading in the right direction as Queens head coach Sam Puryear said following last week's event as he shot an even par 72 in round three leaving him at nine over for the week (225) and a T-36 finish.
Rounding out the starting five for the Royals was Chase Berlin who posted his second consecutive round of 75. The freshman posted a three-day score of 231 and finished in a tie for 64th.
Individual performer Jordan Bilodeau posted 228 following his round of 73 this morning.
The Royals will be in action again in two weeks at the Myrtle Beach Intercollegiate hosted by Lenior -Rhyne University.
