Andy Bonar
The Tiger mens golf team capped one of its best seasons in years
with a fifth-place finish in the NCAC Championship Tournament at
Oberlin Golf Club last weekend. While the teams placement in the
NCAC was one spot lower than the last two seasons, the team score
was better and the competition, with three national qualifyiers
among nine teams in the event, was better as well.
Sophomore Andy Bonar (Lancaster, Ohio/Lancaster)
put together an outstanding weekend of golf, claiming a third-place
tie with a five-over-par two-day total of 149. He shot 74 the first
day and 75 the second. After a second-team All-NCAC finish a year
ago, Bonar moved up to first-team All-NCAC in 2003.
Freshman Clinton Anderson (Mechanicsburg,
Ohio/Mechanicsburg) put together his finest finish as a
collegiate golfer, finishing below 80 both days in posting a
two-day total of 154. He shot 75 the first day and 79 the second,
and his tie for 10th place was good for second-team All-NCAC
honors.
Rounding things out were freshman Dane Sandridge (Westfield
Center, Ohio/Lodi Cloverleaf), junior Adam
Knowlton (Springfield, Ohio/Shawnee) and freshmen
Kristopher Schmelzer (Lancaster, Ohio/Lancaster),
who finished with 163, 164 and 165 respectively. Those were good
for 26th, 28th and 30th place ties.
For the season, Bonar had the best spring scoring average of 77.75.
The other four players who saw action in the NCAC tournament
finished with scoring averages of 81 or lower in at least 10 rounds
this spring.
