Georgia Southern's Charlie Martin lines up a birdie putt on 15 during second round of the Schenkel Invitational golf tournament at Forest Heights Country Club Saturday. Martin just missed and settle for par, but his 68 for the day helped the Eagles post a 4-stroke lead heading into Sunday's final round.
The Georgia Southern golf team achieved its first goal for the 35th annual Schenkel Invitational at Forest Heights Country Club, carding a good round on Friday to put itself in contention. On Saturday, the Eagles came back even stronger and surged into the lead. Four Eagles posted under-par rounds, two — Haydon Anderson and Will Evans — recorded a hole-in-one, and Georgia Southern posted at team score of 12-under on the day to put them at 14-under for the tournament and four shots clear of second-place Alabama-Birmingham.
