Zachary Evens, Guilford, So.

Evens, a sophomore from Mercer Island, Wash., picked a great time to earn his first collegiate individual medal as he topped the field at the Tournament Town Preview. The event, which featured the top finishers from the 2017 NCAA Division III Championships in addition to select regional teams, was competed at Grandover Resort as an early prelude to the 2018 national championships, which the Greensboro-based venue will host in May. Evens birdied the 18th hole in his final round to finish one stroke clear of a trio of competitors following three rounds of play. He opened with a 4-under 68 on the par-72 layout set at 6,730 yards. The course lengthened to just over 7,000 yards for the final two rounds, with Evens carding scores of 74 and 73 to finish at 1-under 215, making him the only play to finish under par for the tournament. His efforts helped tournament-host Guilford finish ninth overall (897) in the team standings. Evens has finished in the top-five in each of his three starts this fall.
