SPARTANBURG, S.C. – After earning his second consecutive top-five finish, Davidson sophomore Richard Fountain was selected as the Southern Conference Men's Golfer of the Week for the second consecutive week Wednesday.
Fountain lead Davidson to a seventh-place finish at 886 (296-294-296) Monday in a competitive field at UNC Wilmington's Seahawk Intercollegiate at the Country Club of Landfall.
After starting with a three-under par 69 in round one, the Raleigh, N.C. native, fired his second consecutive even-par round of 72 on Monday on the 6,946-yard Nicklaus Course, finishing at three-under-par with 213 strokes (69-72-72) to tie with Thomas Birdsey of Wake Forest for fourth place. Fountain was the top SoCon finisher in the tournament, which featured six top-100 ranked teams, including 26th-ranked SoCon foe Chattanooga.
Last week, Fountain shared the SoCon's weekly award with Furman senior Matt Broome. Fountain and Broome both finished at 222, six-over par in the Wexford Plantation Intercollegiate to lead their respective teams and finish tied for fifth individually.
Davidson will next compete at the Samford Intercollegiate at Hoover Country Club in Birmingham, Ala.
