ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.– The Queens University of Charlotte men's golf team walked away with a win in its first tournament of the spring season winning the Spring Kick-Off Intercollegiate hosted by No. 16 Lincoln Memorial University this afternoon. The Royals' second round of play where they shot a 293 proved to be pivotal as they were able to hold off the Railsplitters for a one-stroke win.
Queens finished with a plus-27 891 (299-293-299) while the Railsplitters scored an 892 (295-305-292) over the three rounds of play. Carson-Newman took third place with an 895 (299-300-296).
"What a day," said Queens head men's golf coach Andrew Serketich. "The conditions were tougher today which contributed to scores being a little higher. As expected LMU and Carson-Newman made a charge and played well today.
Jonathan Noble led the Royals finishing second individually after carding a 215 (70-72-73). Additionally, he was one of three players this week to pick up an eagle while also totaling eight birdies across the three rounds of play. Ethan Willis also grabbed a top-10 finish tying for seventh place with a 220 (77-70-73) while Taisuke Ono tied for 16th place with a 225 (74-73-78). Willis birdied on 12 holes in the tournament to lead the entire field of golfers in the category. Henry Bryden completed play with a 232 (78-78-76) to tie for 37th place and Elis Lewis tied for 69th with a 239 (84-78-77).
"We didn't get off to a good start but the guys rallied on the back nine and made some birdies to get us back into the lead and eventually hung on for the win," Serketich added.
As usual, Jon was fantastic all week and came up huge again today. He's so solid and I'm thankful to have him leading our team. Ethan also played super solid in the last few rounds. Today he made four straight birdies on the front nine that really buoyed our team score early on."
Queens will be back in action at the Newberry College Invitational in Kiawah Island, S.C. on February 18 and 19.
Serketich closed stating, "Overall, I am very proud of the guys. Happy to get the first win under our belts and we will start preparing for Kiawah."
