Eagles win the Schenkel
031614 GOLF SCHENKEL 01
Georgia Southern's Scott Wolfes, right, gets a fist bump from head coach Larry Mays after the Eagles won the Schenkel Invitational golf tournament at Forest Heights Country Club Sunday. Wolfes finished with the individual low score for the tournament at 7-under.
As the rain came down, the temperature dropped and the water collected on the greens at Forest Heights Country Club, the only place there wasn’t really any drama was at the top of the Schenkel Invitational leaderboard. The Georgia Southern Eagles carded the low round of the day on Sunday to clinch a convincing eight-stroke win for the program’s first victory at its home tournament. They shot 14-under overall and finished eight strokes ahead of second-place UAB. “We’re watching some three putts and the rain’s coming down, we’re squeegeeing greens, and it got a little hairy right there at the end, but I’m proud of the boys for pushing through and finishing it off,” GSU coach Larry Mays said.
