The Winston-Salem State Rams men’s golf team posted a team aggregate total of 342, 14 strokes better than the April 7 opening-round performance en route to finishing in 10th place on April 8 afternoon at the Second Annual Independent Collegiate Golf Invitational hosted by Brevard College played at Etowah Valley Golf Club in Etowah.
That Tuesday saw the Rams return to action as they took to the course at Etowah Valley Golf Club’s South Course, a par 72, 7,096-yard course that has earned distinction as one of Golf Digest’s Top-100 golf destinations in much more favorable weather conditions.
The pleasant weather helped the Rams make up 14 strokes over Monday’s 356 as WSSU turned in a cumulative score of 342, good enough for a two-day total of 698 as the Rams leap-frogged North Carolina Central University, finishing the competition in sole possession of 10th place.
The Rams were led by Joshua Sherrell for the second consecutive day as Sherrell posted an 11-over par round of 83 en route to a tie for 45th in the individual medalist portion of the competition.
Lance Holmes tallied an 84; Steven Mason recorded an 85; Zachary Yelder tallied a 90 and Jerrell Fields rounded out the scoring with a 91.
The Rams’ total of 698 earned them a 10th-place finish following the final round at Etowah Valley G.C.
WSSU returns to action May 9-11 in Port Saint Lucie, Florida, as they close out their 2008 season at the PGA Minority Golf Championships.
Team members include Joshua Sherrell, Lance Holmes, Steven Mason, Zachary Yelder, and Jerrell Fields.
