The Chattanooga Mocs shot 302 in Tuesday’s final round to finish fourth at the Southern Conference Men’s Golf Championships. The Mocs tallied 900 for the rain-soaked event.
Etienne Brault led the way with an even-par 72. He started out with two birdies and four pars over the first six holes. That shifted to a 3-over start through 11 with a bogey-par-double-bogey-bogey stretch.
Brault birdied three of the next four holes to get back to even on the day and 4 over for the tourney.
He missed a birdie putt on 17 by inches and another on 18 to finish two shots off the individual lead in fourth-place.
Brooks Thomas (76), Phillip Hickam (77) and Stuart Thomas (77) rounded out the team score. Wes Gosselin tied for 11th at 8 over (224). B. Thomas tied for 16th at 226.
ETSU won the team title with an 882 total. UNCG was second with 890 followed by Wofford in third at 898. The Bucs’ Geuntae Kim won medalist honors in a one-hole playoff over UNCG’s Jonathan Brightwell. Kim birdied the 18th for the win as Brightwell’s birdie effort slid just by the hole on the right.
Gosselin and B. Thomas were named to the All-Southern Conference team. It’s the second such award for Gosselin, the first for Thomas.
