ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – Coming off its first win of the 2023-24 season, Davidson continued its impressive play Thursday as the Wildcats fired a 10-under 274 to grab the lead after day one of The Peoples Championship hosted by Western Carolina University.
The three-day / 54-hole event, which features 22 teams / 128 competitors, is being played on the Par 71, 6,664-yard Sea Palms Resort layout. Tomorrow's second round will begin at 8 a.m. off the 1st and 10th tees.
Davidson, the event's defending champion, will enter tomorrow's second round with a six-shot lead over the Catamounts (-4) and Xavier (-4).
Coming off a career-best second-place finish in Aiken, S.C., earlier this week, the Wildcats' Joshua Stewart (-5) is one off the individual lead held by Wright State's Shane Ochs (-6). Stewart finished the opening round bogey free highlighted by a 32 on his inward nine.
Alex Heffner (T-3 | -4), who led for much of the day before a dropped shot down the stretch, is one back of Stewart after a four-under 67. Junior Will Davis (T-8 | 69) also sits inside the Top-10 for the 'Cats at two-under.
In all, the Wildcats finished the day with 25 birdies.
Benjamin Newfield (+1) and Price Miller (+5) are also in the Davidson starting lineup, while Adam Lauer (+2), Jackson Bode (+3), Davis Sayman (+4) and Will Tharin (+8) are competing as individuals.
Up Next
Davidson will take two weeks off from tournament action before heading to Wilmington for the Seahawk Collegiate March 24-25.
