STATS/NOTES | SCORING | PAIRINGS | ABOUT CHATTANOOGA GOLF
CHATTANOOGA---The Chattanooga Mocs men's golf team is coming off a win at the Wolfpack Intercollegiate. That was Sunday, now it's back to the tee on Saturday at Furman Intercollegiate. The Mocs take on the 15-team field at the Furman Golf Course.
The same quintet is back on the course for Coach Blaine Woodruff's Mocs. Paul Conroy looks to build on the momentum of his 10-under 206 trophy total along with Samuel Espinosa, John Houk, Braedon Wear and Carson Johnson.
"We're excited for another opportunity this week," Woodruff shared before Friday's practice round. "As I told the guys this week, I like the fact this is a quick turnaround week for us because we're playing well.
"Our focus can't be about trying to go back-to-back or trying to win. It's doing exactly what got us there last week. That's staying disciplined and confident and making great decisions. We'll see what happens after that."
Espinosa has three top 10s in three events. A fourth is a school record to start the season. The only other Moc to begin with three straight top 10s is volunteer coach Derek Rende '10. Rende tied for eighth, 10th and third before a tie for 11th to start 2007-08.
Three Mocs are under par so far in Espinosa (-19), Houk (-9) and Conroy (-7). There have only been three such seasons in program history - Jonathan Hodge '09 (-9, 2007-08), Stephan Jaeger '12 (-1, 2010-11 & -22, '11-12). Hodge enters the UTC Hall of Fame this weekend. Jaeger is preparing for his next PGA Tour event.
Saturday's 36-hole extravaganza begins with an 8:30 a.m., shotgun start. The guys begin on holes 10-12 paired with Coastal Carolina and James Madison. The final 18 concludes the event on Sunday.
