Men's Golf Wins Callaway Collegiate Classic
The 4th ranked Oglethorpe University men's golf team fired an
opening round 293 to build an 8 stroke lead on the field and held on
to win the Callaway Collegiate Classic in Pine Mountain, Georgia.
In winning the Callaway, the Petrels also managed to upend #1 ranked
Huntingdon College and #3 ranked Methodist College to ensure a climb
in the upcoming polls.
Both Huntingdon and Methodist proved game opponents for Oglethorpe
as they fought back from the opening day 8 stroke deficet, yet
could not pull inside of 2 strokes as the Petrels held on for the
huge victory. 
The Petrels were paced by the steady play of Tournament Medalist
Taylor Urbanski who managed the tournament's only sub-par round on
day one with a 70.
Freshman Joseph Lyda fired rounds of 72 and 75 for a 147 total and
remarkable third place overall finish out of 92 entrants.
Senior Joe Green posted rounds of 74 - 75 placing him in a tie for
fifth place while Johshua Kinsey went 76 - 76 for a two day total
of 152 and a tie for 13th place.
The Petrels are back in action Friday, March 24th when they tee it
up in the Jekyll Island Collegiate Invitational which Oglethorpe
hosts.
