Men’s Golf Finishes in Third, Hallinger Finishes Tied for First Individually at the Camden Collegiate

CAMDEN, S.C. - Coker University men's golf finished in third as a team, while sophomore Jonathan Hallinger finished in a tie for first at the Camden Collegiate on Tuesday (Oct. 4). 

The Cobras turned in a 300 as a team, while shooting 867 for the tournament. Hallinger turned in a 72 on the final day, while Killian Ryan (73) and Fred Tindale (77) each finished at 222 for the tournament in a tie for 24th individually. Caleb tidd turned in a 78 on the day to finish at 223 and tied for 28th individually. Maximilan Barclay finished with an 80 today to bring his tournament total to 227, while JJ Cots turned in a 77 to bring his tournament total to 232. Blake Weatherford turned in an 82 to bring his tournament total to 248, while Seth Evans also shot a 92 to bring his tournament total to 262. 

"Our guys really had a rough start today after sitting on the overnight 36-hole lead, but they did settle in down the stretch to hold off some good teams and finish third," said head coach John Hackney. "We beat some vaunted programs but we wanted to win. This is an extremely talented team, so I am sure victories are coming. Johnny had an excellent tournament. He dropped from the lead to third place but was clutch and birdied two of his last four holes to get into a playoff. He hit three great approach shots on the first three holes but couldn't convert the birdie looks. An errant tee shot on the fourth hole ended up costing him medalist honors, but he played superb golf for three days and beat some outstanding players. We have finished high in our first two events so we'll shoot for coming out on top next week."

The Cobras return to the course on Oct. 10 for the Irish Creek Classic at The Club at Irish Creek in Kannapolis, N.C.
