Montreat College's men's golf team welcomed eight other squads to the Glen Cannon Country Club in Brevard, NC for Montreat's 2010 Spring Invitational Golf Tournament, but unfortunately, the Cavaliers played the role of gracious host too well, finishing ninth out of nine teams in the two-day event on March 13-14.
Limestone College of Gaffney, S.C. captured the team honors by shooting 301-293=594 for the two rounds, winning by a comfortable 13-stroke margin over Reinhardt College. USC-Lancaster claimed third place.
Montreat College Head Golf Coach David Pennell watched as Sean McKaig played well to keep the Cavs competitive, as the junior from Columbus, N.C. put together tidy rounds of 75-76 to finish at 151, tied for fifth among the 36 golfers who teed it up. Promising freshman Preston Karup of Arden, N.C. finished second among Pennell's foursome with an 81-76=157 and Jake Peterson, a freshman from Atlanta, was third among Montreat's players. Senior Kevin Hanlon rounded out the group.
Trevor Banks of USC-Lancaster won individual honors and played both rounds under par (he produced two of the only three sub-par rounds posted by any player), signing a scorecard that read a handsome 69-67=136 to coast to an 8-shot victory.
McKaig joined Banks and three golfers from team champion Limestone on the All-Tournament Team.
