ODAC Golf Report: Fall - Week 8

There were just two tournaments over the past week, but they were big ones as the men closed their fall campaign at a pair of well-attended events. ODAC women's golfers were idle ahead of their final scheduled event next week.

  • CHARLIE WILKERSON | RANDOLPH-MACON COLLEGE
    Wilkerson, a junior from Midlothian, Va., earns his second ODAC weekly honor of the season after placing third at the Chick-fil-A Invitational hosted by Berry College at Stonebridge Golf Club in Rome, Ga. Wilkerson carded a 3-under total of 213 following 54 holes of competition on the par-72 track set to 6,686 yards. In round one, he opened with a 1-over 73 that featured three birdies. On his second 18 holes of the day, Wilkerson put together a school-record 8-under 64 as the lowest round in the ODAC this season. The previous best was his 7-under 65 second round at The Toftrees Invitational. His second round in Georgia included seven birdies and an eagle-2 on the par-4 302-yard 10th hole where he drove to the front of the green and sunk a 30-footer with his putter. In round three, Wilkerson closed with a 4-over 76 that was highlighted by four birdies. Wilkerson tied for second in par-4 scoring (-3, 3.90) and total birdies (14). His ranking in Clippd improved from No. 21 entering the tournament to No. 20 at its close.

    Randolph-Macon increased its number of top-five finishes to two by placing second to Covenant (850) at 4-over par 868 (288-283-297). The Yellow Jackets' second round 283 is the fourth-lowest in the ODAC this year and matches their season-best from their first round at the West Pines Collegiate.
