Oct. 24, 2006
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. ---- The Samford University men’s golf team moved up a spot Tuesday to finish in a tie for fifth place with Morehead State in the final round of the F&M Bank Intercollegiate. The Samford women stayed in sixth place ahead of Ohio Valley Conference competitors Tennessee Tech (7th), Murray State (tied for 9th), and Tennessee State (14th).
After the final round of play at the Novadell course, the Samford men shot a combined score of 880, shooting 291 on the day.
Individually, Bradley Pate dropped two spots to third place with a combined score of 212 after shooting 75 in the final round. Pate led the field in first place after two rounds Monday. Reed Davis tied at 15th, one spot above yesterday, shooting 73 on the day and 217 over all. Jeremy Cox tied at 47th while shooting 77-78-71 = 226, and Andrew Villarreal shot 78-77-72 = 227 to put him in a tie for 52nd. Taylor Dorner came in at 85th, shooting 76-82-83 = 241.
“This was a great tournament for us,” Samford men’s head coach Woodie Eubanks said. “We showed a lot of improvement in this tournament, and we hope we can continue making progress.”
The Samford women shot a combined 665 in the last day at Clarksville Country Club, shooting 330 in the final round, five shots better than day one.
“We had a reasonable round,” Samford women’s head coach Ian Thompson said. “We had a chance to really move up, but we had a series of really difficult finishes through our round and we just kind of let it go. This course can do that to you – make a mistake into a big mistake – and we paid for that quite a bit.”
Heather Arnold moved up 17 spots to tie in 13th place. Arnold broke 80 in the last round, shooting 79, bringing her overall score to 164. Katelyn Stanier moved up two spots to a tie in 17th, shooting 82 (165), and Courtney Warr fell to 23rd with a final round score of 85 and an overall score of 167. Kellie O’Connell finished in a tie at 39th (87-84 = 171), and Maria Troche tied for 43rd shooting 85-87 = 172.
“The scores were high again,” said Thompson, “but we were on a very difficult golf course. We tried our best, but just couldn’t move up. We will head to the Troy Tournament next week, and try to get back in it.”
Next up for the Samford men is the Buffalo Rock Southern Showdown hosted by Birmingham-Southern. The tournament will be held at Bent Brook Golf Course in McCalla, Ala., Oct. 30-31. The Samford women will head Troy, Ala., to compete in the Troy University Women’s Intercollegiate.
