Senator Golfers Secured a Spot in Nationals

The Davis & Elkins College men’s golf team and captain Jordan Hyland had a Saturday to remember at Ravenwood Golf Club in Victor, New York. The team secured a T-3 position sending them to the NCAA D2 National Championship held at TPC Michigan in Detroit, Michigan. Hyland, of Omagh, Northern Ireland, won the NCAA D2 East/Atlantic Regional Championship individually for his second win in two starts at Ravenwood Golf Course. This was the second consecutive year the Senators secured a spot in national play. Although the team finished 17th out of 20 teams competing, they had a solid year and several members earned top accolades. In the regular season, the team captured five wins of their 11 starts and ranked No. 1 in the East/Atlantic Region. The team had three individual wins, including a regional championship from Hyland, numerous top 5 individual performances, and an individual tournament scoring school record by Sean Addie of Prestwick, Scotland. Hyland and Sean McAufield of Louth, Ireland, were both named in East/Atlantic All-Region honors, and Evan Lewis of Bromsgrove, England, earned All-Conference First Team for the third year in a row. For the second consecutive year, Hyland was named NCAA D2 Ping Honorable Mention All-American.
