BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Millsaps Majors Men's Golf Team were back in action this weekend as the Southern Athletic Association had their Fall Team Preview on Sunday in Birmingham. The Majors played very well on the afternoon as they sit in fifth place with a team score of 306, only five strokes behind the teams in third and fourth.

"Unlike our first event, we got off to a good start today and kept that momentum going through the round," said Head Coach Eddie Brescher. "Our guys fought hard and posted a decent number today."

The Majors were led by juniors Chris Patton and Thomas Baxter as they are currently tied for seventh with scores of 74 throughout the first round at Limestone Springs Golf Course.

"Chris and Thomas have been playing some solid golf so far this semester," said Brescher. "That showed today as they posted some good numbers for their team." 

Junior Drew Richardson was right behind Patton and Baxter with a score of 78 as he sits in 21st place so far. Rounding out the Majors was freshman Carlitos Fernandez with an 80, sophomore Garrett Barnes with an 80, and freshman Cody Davis with an 82. 

Brescher expects his men to come out ready to play and possibly make a move tomorrow afternoon, "Our guys are very talented and we fully expect that to show tomorrow as we look to improve on day one and move up the leader board."

Defending National Champion, Oglethorpe, currently leads the Preview with a score of 284 while Rhodes is in second with a 297. Centre is in third at 301 while Berry is in fourth at 302. The Majors head into the final round tomorrow with a tough, but manigable hill to climb as they look to move up the leaderboard.
