Jackson State's balance enabled them to
repeat as team champions at the National
Minority College Golf Championship held
last month at the Highland Parte Golf Course
at Cleveland, Ohio.
The Tigers had a two-day total of 582 to
secure the crown. But while JSU didn't
emerge with an individual champion, they
did place four golfers in the top 10 to pave
the way to victory.
South Carolina State finished seven
strokes behind JSU with a 589 to finish sec
ond. The Bulldogs have been tournament
runners-up for the past three years. SC State
won this tournament in '87 and '88.
Rounding out the top five in this field
was Florida A&M (611), St. Augustine's
(620) and Fayetteville State (625).
Individually, South Carolina State's Mar
tin Roache displayed the winning touch,
shooting a 36-hole, one-under par total of
141, a record for this five-year old event (For
more on Roache, see BCSR centerfold).
Roache, a junior, took command during
the first round by firing a two-under 69. He
shot 72 over the final 18 holes to win by one
Stroke over second-place Leo Bennett of
Florida A&M.
Jackson State's Marcus Williams pro
duced the Tigers' highest finish for medalist
honors with a 143 for third place, "teammate
Peter Korzilius followed Williams at 144 for
the No. 4 spot, while Edward Halseil of SC
State carded a 148 for fifth place.
Next to Jackson State, South Carolina
State had the next highest number of players
to finish among the top 10. Aside from Roach
and Halseil, the Bulldogs got solid play from
Dwayne McKelvey who totaled 150 for
eighth place in the low medalist competition.
Mike OToole and Sam Norwood were
BCSR staff photo
the other two Jackson State golfers who fin
ished in the top 10. Both shot 149 for sixth
and seventh places respectively. OToole was
last year's low medalist winner.
The Division I schools dominated indi
vidual play this year. St. Augustine's Terrence
Allen was the only Division II golfer to crack
the top 10. He shot 150 which was good for -
ninth place.
Team-wise, not only did Jackson State
and South Carolina State duel for the team
trophy, but they also dominated the voting for
the National Minority Golf Coaches Associa
tion All-America team. Of the seven players
selected, JSU had three players while SC
State had two.
Williams, O'Toole and Norwood were
the selectees for JSU, while Roache and
McKelvey made it for the Bulldogs.
Williams, OToole and Norwood are repeaters
from last year's squad. Other All-America
picks are Chris Brown of St Augustine's and
Cedric Smith of Hampton University.
The All-America team was selected
based on stroke average for the season and
the number of top 10 finishes.
