DANVILLE, Ky. – Campbellsville dug itself too deep a hole to climb out of in the morning two-man team competition, eventually losing the 2013 President's Cup to Lindsey Wilson College 10-5.
Â
Lindsey Wilson also won the 36-hole medal play match, 580-589. Campbellsville improved significantly shaving eight strokes off of Lindsey's morning lead of 17 shots, 286-303.
Â
The Tigers trailed Lindsey Wilson 4 ½ to ½ at the end of the four-ball matches at Old Bridge Golf Course on the outskirts of Danville. That deficit proved to be too great a margin for CU to overcome in the 10 afternoon singles matches.
Â
"I am very proud of these guys," said coach Kenny Lawson. "After being down in the team matches, the guys showed a lot of heart and battled back in the individual matches."
Â
Campbellsville gained three points when Tanner Hall, Lukas Kvaavik and Jacob Sims closed their matches out early in the afternoon, pulling CU to withing 4 1/3-3 1/2. But CU could only pull out 1 ½ points in the remaining seven singles matches.
Â
Matthew Razor was Campbellsville's low scorer on the day posting scores of 71-71 (142).
Â
Michael Newton shot Campbellsville's lowest score on the day when he fired a 69 during his afternoon round.
