CREEL TIES
FOR MEDALIST HONORS
Hot Springs, AR—The
University of North Alabama golf
team turned in its worst round of
the tournament
Tuesday and had to settle for a
fourth place finish at the 2007 Gulf
South Conference Golf Championships.
UNA had entered the final round just
one stroke behind defending champion
West Florida but lost ground to
the Argonauts.
Individually, UNA's Daniel Creel and
VSU's Jason Flowers shared GSC
Individual Champion accolades
because a
playoff could not be conducted due
to threat of severe weather. Both
players finished with -6, 210
scores,
marking the first first-place tie
since 2002, when West Florida's
Kevin Warrick won in playoff action.
West Florida finished with a final
round 286, capturing its second
straight Blue Cross Blue Shield/Gulf
South
Conference Men's Golf Championship.
UWF survived the final 18 holes as
the lone team in negative figures,
posting a -5, 859, and claiming
back-to-
back GSC Titles for the third time
in school history.
Valdosta State finished one stroke
ahead of Arkansas Tech for second
place, posting a +4, 868. North
Alabama
ranked fourth with a +11, 875 and
West Georgia (+22, 886) completed
the Top Five. Henderson State scored
a
+43, 907 for sixth place while Delta
State and Montevallo tied for
seventh with a pair of +45, 909
scores.
Harding (+49, 913) and Ouachita
Baptist (+62, 926) completed the Top
Ten, while Christian Brothers (+99,
963), Southern Arkansas (+165,
1,029) and Arkansas-Monticello
(+230, 1,094) rounded out the field.
Five others collected All-Tournament
Team honors given to the top seven
performers. Freshman standouts,
UWF's David Lingmerth and HSU's Ben
Cuzen, tied for third place (-4,
212) earning them Co-GSC Freshman of
the Year laurels as the highest true
freshman scorers. ATU's Jarred
Carlyle and VSU's Josh Thompkins
tied for
fifth (-3, 213) and West Florida's
Matthew Galloway's seventh-place
finish (-1, 215) rounded out the
All-
Tournament Team.
