SPARTANBURG, SC – The USC Upstate men's golf team wrapped up day three at The Johnson Group Carolina Cup, placing two golfers in the top 30 and securing an eighth-place team finish. Competing independently, Junior Herman Holst and Senior Barrett Josey led the Spartans with 24th and 28th place finishes, respectively.
Holst's consistent play on the par 3s proved vital, as he tied for seventh in scoring on those holes. Josey also delivered a strong performance by shooting par during today's final round that vaulted him ten spots up the leaderboard.
Caden Sanders, a Johannesburg native, narrowly missed the top-30, finishing in 31st place. Sanders also tied for first with two Eagles in the tournament.Â
The Spartans had success in their long game, posting an impressive 4.96 scoring average on par 5s, finishing -2 as a team in that category—good for fourth place among the field.
Rounding out the team's scoring were Alec Prentice and Jas Sohal, who both tied for 24th with a total score of 232, as well as Ross Wright and Jackson Stone, who finished with scores of 233 and 235, respectively.
The individual title was shared by Ben Jordan of Wofford and Ashton Eubanks of Winthrop, both finishing at -1 under par. Wofford claimed the team title, carding a score of 875 (300-284-291).
