The Lead: The Roanoke College Golf team wrapped up its 2018 season at the ODAC Championships on Monday.

How it Happened

  • Weather again forced ODAC players to compete in an altered format as heavy rain threatened to shorten the three rounds slated for Bryan Park Golf & Conference Center in Browns Summit, N.C. with Tuesday looking to be a wash on predicted forecasts, the tournament's games committee made the decision to attempt to get both the second and third rounds completed on Monday rather than shorten the 54-hole event to 36 holes.
  • RC's Bradley Williams improved in each of the three rounds, carding a three-day total of 80-76-75—231 to finish in a tie for 22nd place individually.
  • Evan Diebus shot a 78-81-90—249 for the Maroons, while Andrew Edwards carded a 78-81-90 – 249.
  • Addison Manring of Guilford won the individual title with a 73-68-71—212 to finish four under par.
  • Guilford won its second straight title. Guilford shot a 6-under 282 in the final round to secure a 1-under score of 863 when combined with team cards of 289 and 292 over the first 36 holes.
  • Just two strokes proved the difference between second and fourth place. Washington and Lee University (296-296-304) finished second at 32-over 896, while Virginia Wesleyan University (306-295-296) and Hampden-Sydney College (295-295-308) sat third and fourth at 33-over 897 and 34-over 898, respectively.
