SCOTS TRIO HELP WARHAWKS WIN

TWO TEAM TITLES IN A ROW

CALHOUN, Louisiana: The University of Louisiana-Monroe men’s golf team finished in first place in both team and individual competition in the ULM/Wallace Jones Invitational, hosted by ULM, over a par-72 course of 6,822yd at the Southern Pines Country Club, Calhoun, Louisiana.
This was the second team win in a row for the Warhawks and first career individual win for Velten Meyer.
“The guys played very well today,” said head coach Walt Williams.
ULM finished under par in the final round of play, with a 4-under 284, to grab the top spot in a strong 14-team field with an 870. The Warhawks finished 11 strokes in front of second-placed Arkansas-Little Rock.
“UALR made a big run at us and caught us early in the round but our guys took the Trojans’ best shot and answered on the back nine and pulled away at the end for an 11-shot win,” said Williams.
Four of the five golfers on the ULM team finished individual competition in the top 10.
Velten Meyer led the way with a final score of 5-under 211 and the first place spot out of 70 competitors. Meyer was followed by Calum Hill,  a freshman from North Berwick who finished in a tie for third on 209, Mason Seaborn (220) in a tie for fifth and Greg Smail, a sophomore from Musselburgh, in a tie for ninth on 222. 
Charlie Macneal, a final-year student from Ayrshire, rounded out the group, posting a 226 and finishing in a tie for 18^th.
“Velten was spectacular in getting his first individual win with a -5 total on a tough course and Calum was close behind in 3^rd!” said Williams.
“We will take a day off to rest and then get back to work preparing for the Texas State Invitational,” said Williams. The Warhawks return to action in their final tournament before the Sun Belt Championships, the Texas State Invitational, scheduled to begin April 7^th.
