Evan Cox, Virginia Wesleyan, So.

Cox, a sophomore from Ashland, Ky., put together a record-setting performance at the Tom Kinder Memorial.  He claimed individual medalist honors after posting a two-round total of 137, finishing 7-under par for the tournament.  He fired an 8-under 64 in the first round, breaking the old tourney mark set by Virgnia Intermont's Trevor Banks (65) in 2012.  It also set a new standard for VWC golfers, eclipsing the 66 shot by Chris Valianos at the Apprentic Fall Classic in 2010.  Cox's efforts, which included a 73 in round two, helped the Marlins to a fifth-place team showing (594) in the 18-squad tournament.
