Owens golf finishes fifth
PLYMOUTH, Ind. — Owens Community College men’s golf team finished fifth Friday in the NJCAA Division II
national championship at Swan Lake Resort’s Black Course.
The Express, ranked third, finished with a 1,219 total. Walters State (Tenn.) won with a 1,189 total,
while Mesa (Ariz.) was second at 1,200.
Owens finished just one shot behind Blackhawk (Ill.) College for fourth and five shots behind Mississippi
Gulf Coast Community College for third.
Harrison Long and Philippe Weppernig each shot a 13-over-par 301 to tie for 14th place. Both had 77s
during Friday’s final round.
After Thursday’s third round, the Express thought they were in third place, just five strokes out of
second place.
But it was learned Friday morning that Brandon Hoelzer’s had his score of 77 disqualified due to signing
an incorrect scorecard.
Hoelzer was back in the lineup Friday and shot a 77.
The finishes by Long and Weppernig earned them second-team All-American honors, and they also were named
to the national tournament team.
