Men’s Golf Finishes Third at AU Invitational

ANDERSON, S.C. – Led by junior Jake Miller's two-day 1-over-par 145, the Anderson University men's golf team finished third at the AU Invitational Tuesday, which was hosted at the 6,961 yard, par-72 Cobb's Glen Country Club layout.

AU was unable to hold its tenuous one-shot lead entering Tuesday's final round, while Erskine moved up to win the two-day event by two strokes over Southern Wesleyan. The Trojans finished third, with Erskine (B) taking the fourth slot.
Emmanuel, Spartanburg Methodist and Bob Jones University rounded out the seven-team field.

Southern Wesleyan's Eric Shea posted a two-round 139, including a 6-under-par 66 on Tuesday to win individual honors by four strokes over Erskine's Zach McLain (74-69=143). Miller (70-75=145) finished tied for third alongside Erskine's Callum Watson (74-71=145).

AU sophomore Colt Martin (73-78=151) finished in eighth place, with senior Grayson Bell (77-75=152) just behind in a tie for ninth. Senior Cole Jefferys (79-76=155) jumped from 21st place into a share of 14th. Sophomore Cal Brock (77-80=157) finished in a tie for 18th, while junior Brady Cox (83-74=157) vaulted from 27th place following Monday's first round into a share of 18th place.

Junior Drake McAlister (86-78=164) and freshman Kyle Ketcham (87-77=164) finished in a tie for 30th place.

Following a two-week break, the Trojans will get back on the links at the King University Invitational.
