FLORENCE, S.C. – Davidson freshman Richard Fountain shot an even-72 in the second round Monday to remain in a tie for the individual lead at the Southern Conference Men’s Golf Championship at the Country Club of South Carolina. As a team, Davidson slipped from fifth to ninth with a two-round total of 592 (293+299) and will tee off for the third and final round from the 10th hole Tuesday morning at 8:50 a.m.
Fountain shares the lead with Lewis Gruber of Georgia Southern, who also shot a 72, and Casey O’Toole of Samford, who had a 71 Monday. Three others are tied for fourth place, two strokes back at 142.
The last time a Davidson golfer has medaled in the conference tournament was 1973, when Rusty Boyd won the title. Alex Knoll came the closest to ending the Cats’ medal drought in 2007, finishing as the runner-up.
Freshman Sam Echikson led the Wildcats for the day with a two-under-par 70 to move into a tie for 16th place at 146. The Cats were as high as third on the leaderboard after completing the front-nine, but the back-nine proved challenging for all teams, and the Cats struggled in particular on the last three holes. Junior Jackson Taylor (153) fired a 78, senior Bobby Urso (155) a 79 and John Skeadas (155) an 81.
All five Chattanooga golfers shot within one stroke of par in round two to place the Mocs four shots ahead of the field. Chattanooga is followed in the team standings by Georgia Southern (579) and Samford (580). College of Charleston (583) is in fifth place, followed by Wofford (584), Elon (590) and Western Carolina (590). Davidson (592) is in ninth position, while Appalachian State (599) and Furman (601) are in 10th and 11th, respectively.
Wofford freshman Chandler Brazeal and UNCG junior Will Almand posted the day’s lowest scores at three-under par 69.
The third and final round tees off at 8 a.m. Tuesday. Fans unable to attend thetournament, which is open to the public free of charge, can follow the action at http://golfstatresults.com/public/index.cfm?tournament_id=2204 [2].
