DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Davidson men's golf team moved up four places into a tie for sixth with a two-round score of 593 (302+291) in the Davidson College Invitational at River Run Country Club Monday. Senior Ryan Crum will lead the Wildcats into the third-and-final round Tuesday at 147, three-over par.
Southern Conference rival Wofford leads the field of 13 teams by seven strokes with an even-par 576 (296+280). Guilford trails at 583 (293+290), led by the tournament's top individual, Noah Ratner (139, five-under par). Presbyterian sits third at 585 (290+295), while two more SoCon teams, College of Charleston and Western Carolina, are fourth (588=302+286) and fifth (589=293+296), respectively.
Both Davidson and Cincinnati (298+295) are four strokes outside the top five at 593. The Wildcats are ahead of conference opponents Elon (12th place, 607=309+298) and Appalachian State (13th, 611=298+313).
Crum (South Salem, N.Y.) is currently in a tie for 20th after shooting the 'Cats' lowest team-score of the first round, an even-par 72. Crum is tied with classmate Christopher Rollins (White Plains, N.Y.), who finished the first round at two-under par with a 70 and shot a 77 in the second to finish the day at 147, three-over par.
Sophomore John Skeadas III (Savannah, Ga.) matched Rollins' 70 to lead Davidson in the second round.
The freshman duo of Richard Fountain (Raleigh, N.C.) and Sam Echikson (Brussels, Belgium) is tied at 150, six-over par in 36th place. Fountain fired a 77 in the first, but lowered his score to 73 in the second round. Echikson fired a pair of 75's. Senior Bobby Urso (Beverly Hills, Mich.) trails them by one stroke in a tie for 39th place after matching Fountain's second-round 73.
The third-and-final round will begin Tuesday morning with the first groups teeing off from hole No. 1 at 8:15 a.m. and hole No. 10 at 8:20 a.m. Skeadas will tee-off first for Davidson from the first hole at 9 a.m., and will be followed by Urso (9:09 a.m.), Echikson (9:18 a.m.), Fountain (9:27 a.m.) and Crum (9:36 a.m.). Rollins leads four Davidson golfers competing as individuals beginning at 9:14 a.m. from hole No. 10.
The Invitational is taking place at the River Run Country Club, a 7,208-yard, par-72 championship course located in Davidson, N.C. The course was recognized by Golf Reporter as one of the finest tracks in the Southeast, and went through a complete renovation in 2007, including a rebuilding of all of the greens, and a laser-leveling of the tee boxes. It is one of the home courses for the Davidson golf program, giving the 'Cats one of the top facilities in the area.
