Redwood Tops Latimer in One-Hole Playoff for Individual Medal

CAPE CHARLES, Va. --- Tuesday was a day of firsts on the links at Bay Creek Resort & Club as Bridgewater College improved upon its second round lead to capture its first ODAC golf title.  Mike Redwood supplied the Eagles with their first ODAC individual champion as the senior made up four strokes to tie Guilford College’s Peter Latimer before winning a one-hole playoff.

Bridgewater (312-299-304—915) placed three golfers in the top six as John Phillips (76-74-77—227) and Travis Gahman (79-72-77—228) finished fifth and sixth, respectively, joining Redwood (74-76-71—221) near the top.  Their next chance to duplicate the effort will be in the 2010 NCAA Division III Championships in two weeks at the Hershey Links & Country Club in Hershey, Pa.  Plays runs May 11-14.

Guilford (314-302-309—925), which owned a high regional ranking entering the ODAC Tournament, must wait to see if it earns one of only three at-large bids.  Latimer (79-69-73—221) led the Quakers to a second place ODAC showing.  Roanoke College (317-307-306—930) ended the event in third.

The round of the day and tournament belonged to Lynchburg College’s Conrad Anguera.  He fired a final round 68 to finish third overall (81-76-68—225).  His efforts helped lead the Hornets to the best team score (302) for the second straight round.
