STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. - The 2010 SCAC Golf Championships
came to a conclusion on Sunday evening with the Centre College and
Southwestern University men finishing in a tie for the conference
crown. Centre earned the league's automatic bid to the NCAA
Tournament via a tiebreaker.
It is the first team tie for the conference title in the
19-year history of the SCAC Men's Golf Championships. It is also
the first men's golf team titles for either Centre or
Southwestern.
Centre (pictured left) led wire-to-wire but had to
go to the tiebreaker (fifth score each day) to earn the title after
the Colonels and Pirates of Southwestern finished in a flat-footed
tie at 926 strokes for the tournament. Rhodes took third place and
Oglethorpe finished in fourth. Individually, Centre's Chris Morris
capped a spectacular weekend with a round three score of 72 to
finish seven strokes ahead of Southwestern's Ricky Jones for SCAC
Medalist honors.
