The Wittenberg men's golf team placed fourth in the competitive

Hills Golf Club in Attica, Ind. Ohio Wesleyan, a top 10 in the
nation a year ago, won the tourney, followed by nationally ranked
NCAA Division III Tournament qualifier Allegheny and perennial
powerhouse Denison. The Tigers finished four strokes behind the Big
Red.
Sophomore Scott Aker (Springfield, Ohio/Shawnee)
led Wittenberg with a two-day total of 153, good for an
eighth-place tie. The finish earned him second-team All-NCAC
honors, the first postseason award of his career.
Senior Andy Bonar (Lancaster, Ohio/Lancaster)
capped his collegiate career with another outstanding finish,
carding a 154 for a tie for 11th place and earn second-team
All-NCAC honors. Bonar wound up a three-time All-NCAC honoree,
topped by his third place finish in 2004. Bonar led the Tigers in
scoring average for a fourth consecutive year.
Junior Kris Schmelzer (Lancaster, Ohio/Lancaster)
and freshman Brandon Sweaney (Westerville, Ohio/St. Francis
DeSales) tied for 16th place with matching 158s to round
