The MUS varsity golf team claimed third at the 2005 Division II State Golf Tournament by shooting a team total of 602 over two days, 19 shots off the pace set by Baylor and Knoxville Webb.
At The Bear Trace Golf Course at Ross Creek Landing in Clinton, Tennessee, the Owls entered Day 2 in third, just seven strokes off the lead. However, both Baylor and Webb pulled away from MUS on the second day as Baylor claimed the title in a playoff, their twelfth golf championship overall.
Senior Bobby Hudson, the defending individual state champion, finished fourth overall in 2005, shooting 69-76 (145) on the par-72 course. He finished ten strokes behind Baylor’s Harris English, the individual state champion.
Senior Bowers Clement had a good tournament as he made a nice run on the second day, shooting par after his 74 on Day 1 to finish at 146 and claim fifth overall.
Rounding out the field for the Owls were junior Daniel Brown (76-77-153), senior Alex Snyder (78-80-158), and junior Adam Bomar, who followed up freshman Drew Frisby’s 81 on the first day with an 82 on Day 2.
Congratulations to Coach Greg King and the golf team for their fine season, which included an 18-4 regular-season record and a regional championship.
