The MUS varsity golf team culminated their 2007 season with a runner-up finish at the Division II AA State Tournament, held yesterday and today, October 2-3, at the Old Fort Golf Course in Murfreesboro.

The Owls shot a 299 (+11) on Day Two for a two-day total of 595, which was seven shots ahead of third-place MBA. Baylor claimed their record fourteenth title, shooting 568 (-8).

MUS had three golfers place in the top-9 after the two-day event.

Sophomore Wilson Orr shot 74 (+2) on Day Two after having fired 72 (E) yesterday to claim seventh overall at 146 (+2). Junior Drew Frisby was one shot behind Orr after his 74 (+2) on Day Two as he claimed eighth. And senior Paul Billings finished in ninth after he had shot 73 (+1) today for a total of 148 (+4).

Junior Jordan Brown also had a good tournament as he shot 76 (+4) on Day One and 78 (+6) on Day Two for a 154 total.

And freshman Jerry Martin rounded out the team as he shot 163 during the two days.

With this tournament, Coach Greg King and the Owls finish one of their most successful seasons as they lost to only three teams all season, amassing an impressive 37-3 overall record. And with such a young squad, the MUS golf program is in great shape for years to come.

Congratulations to Coach King and the entire team on this great season.
