JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. – The Millsaps Majors Men's Golf Team dropped in the final standing after a tough day at the Jekyll Island Collegiate among the best Division III golf teams. Millsaps did a great day from freshman Lewis Peters, who shot a 73 on the day. The Majors finished with a team score of 922.
 
After shooting an opening round 79 and an 81 in the following round, Peters came through big for Millsaps with a third round 73 to lead the Majors. Sophomore Chris Patton wrapped up a solid tournament shooting a 78 and finishing his tournament with a score of 230 to lead the Majors for the entire tournament.
 
“We looked to have a good finish today, but just couldn't get anything going,” said first year Head Coach Eddie Brescher.  “Our struggles continued on the greens and we did not take advantage of good shots with our putting.”
 
Sophomore Drew Richardson and freshman Garrett Barnes came through with 81s on the day as Richardson finished with a total of 234 while Barnes added a score of 237. Sophomore Thomas Baxter struggled on the day as he shot an 84, but did finish the tournament with a score of 234.
 
“We got off to a solid start with the first two rounds, but simply did not take advantage on Day Three,” said Brescher “We are a young team, but our guys are strong competitors and they are only going to improve on this week's performance.”
 
The Majors are back in action on April 8th with their final spring meet of the season before the SCAC Tournament. They will travel to Georgetown, Texas to compete in the West Regional Invitational.
 
“This event was great experience for our guys against some of the top Division III teams in the nation,” said Brescher “This event was a big learning experience and we look to improve our games heading into our next event at the West Region Invitational.”
