Tournament Notes
Lance Davis and Austin Knight each made an eagle for the Racers, as two of the nine eagles the field made in the 54-hole event. Knight was tied for sixth in par-5 scoring as he played Paris Landing's par-5 holes 3-under par for the event. Davis was tied for first in the event in par-3 scoring at 1-under par.
Â
Matthew Winder had seven birdies in his first round 70 (-2), which led to the lowest score for the Racers in the event. Winder was fifth overall with 10 total birdies.
Â
Justin Wendling led the Racers with 37 total pars in the event and he was fourth in the field.
Â
The next fall event for the Racers takes them to a course that no current player has played as a member of the Murray State team. The Ohio Valley Conference is well acquainted with Greystone GC as it hosted the Ohio Valley Conference Championship in a four-year span from 2010-13. It was here that Racer coach Eddie Hunt won his first OVC title in 2010.
