Gahman finishes 13th, 'Canes have strong showing at State Farm-Laker Invite
HAMPTON, Ga. - The Georgia Southwestern men's golf team moved up three spots from day one at the State Farm-Laker Invitational to finish tied for 10th in the 16-team field on Tuesday. GSW tied with No. 3-ranked Columbus State and the tournament hosts, No. 16-ranked Clayton State. Freshman Nate Gahman shot another 1-under (71) to finish 2-under-par for the tournament to lead the Hurricanes, good for 13th place.
Newberry shot a sizzlin' 10-under par 278 for Tuesday's final round and finished the tournament with a 14-under 562 to win. Newberry finished four strokes ahead of top-ranked Georgia College and five strokes in front of second-ranked Barry. The tournament was reduced from 54 holes to 36 holes at Crystal Lake Golf and Country Club due to the heavy rains and flooding that blanked the metro Atlanta area on Monday evening.
Rounding out the individual scoring for GSW, Craig Gibson (73-71=144) finished at even par and tied for 18th amongst the 84 golfers in the field; Christopher Hall (74-74=148) tied for 45th; Reese Moseley (77-76=153) and Will Smith (75-86=161) tied for 72nd and 82nd, respectively.
The Hurricanes return to the links on October 5, for the AFLAC/Cougar Invitational in Columbus.
