The Shorter golf team placed second at the Camden Collegiate after completing the three-round, 54-hole tournament on Tuesday afternoon. Hosted by Limestone University at Camden Country Club, the Hawks carded a team score of 288, 283, and 289 to finish 20 over par (860). The Shorter Hawks never dropped below third place in team scoring during the event. During round 1, it was cold and the winds were consistently 10 mph. Through these conditions, four teams were tied for first place after round 1 including Shorter, Anderson, Flagler, and Coker. The weather improved for round 2 and the scores followed. SU improved their team score by 5 strokes, but was outplayed by 2 teams. With 18 holes to play, the Hawks trailed by 4 strokes to Coker and 1 stroke to Anderson. Round 3 started off slow for the Hawks. The team was +9 through 6 holes. However, the scores stabilized and Shorter finished +9 (289) on the final day. 289 was the second-best team score for the day and moved the squad to 2nd overall. SU finished ahead of nationally ranked teams such as No. 10 Limestone University and No. 19 South Carolina Aiken. The Hawks were led by Jean-Louis du Plessis (Graaff-Reinet, South Africa) who finished as the individual medalist after a playoff with one player from Coker. J-L fired an even par final round that included a 40-foot birdie putt on the final hole of regulation play. Isaac MacNaughton (Truro, Nova Scotia) and Blake Henriques (Canton, GA) were also factors in the Hawk's runner-up finish. Isaac shot even par over his final 36 holes to place T9. Blake finished T11 in the strong field with a low round of 68 (-2). The men's team is back in action Oct. 24-25. The A team will be competing at the Matt Dyas invitational hosted by West Georgia. The B team will also be playing in Berry College's event which is held at Stonebridge Golf Club in Rome, GA.
