MOBILE, Ala.---The Chattanooga Mocs men's golf team got the spring schedule off to a grand start with a runner-up finish at the Mobile Sports Authority Intercollegiate. The final round 284 (-4) gave the squad its best total (-12, 852) since the same number winning the 2009 Southern Conference Championships.
 
No. 4 Auburn won the event shooting 838. Chattanooga was second by four shots over second-ranked Wake Forest and six clear of Kansas State.
 
"The really cool thing...at lunch the guys were talking about how we didn't play our best," coach Mark Guhne shared. "We left a few shots out there. I really like that fire and competitiveness heading into this semester.
 
"That attitude of not being willing to settle is what we need. We said it over and over in the fall that the talent was there. We played consistently and closed out rounds.
 
"We finished every day."
 
Lake Johnson had his best showing of the year. The freshman turned in three par or better cards for a 4-under 212 to tie for eighth, his first career top 10. Andrew Weathers added three consecutive 71s to finish one stroke out of the top 10 in 11th at -3.
 
Wes Gosselin made it three Mocs under par today with a 71. That moved him into a tie for 15th at -1. Kory Webb tied for 17th at E, while Brooks Thomas finished tied for 30th at +2.
 
Auburn's Michael Johnson was the wire-to-wire winner shooting -14. He was seven better than Peter Staalbo (South Alabama) in second at -7, while five others tied for third at -5.
 
Stuart Thomas played in the USA Individual on Magnolia Grove's Falls Course. He ended up tied for 15th at 223 (+10). His low round was an opening 71 (E).
 
The Mocs return to the tee in two weeks at the Cleveland Golf Palmetto Intercollegiate March 7-8. Scoring links are available above and fans can follow @GoMocsMGLF on Twitter.
