The Bruins golf team closed their fall season competing in the Eagle Invitational hosted by Alice Lloyd College in Cohutta, Georgia to begin the week.

Monday was a tough round of golf just simply due to the weather conditions. There were many non-traditional water hazards in the middle of the fairway that added to the difficulty. Nonetheless, the Bruins competed. The B Team for this tournament consisted of Bryce Coursen, Dakota Holt, Conner Ingle, Luke Jett, and Brayden Joyner. The A Team consisted of Brandon Autry, DJ Waller, Grant Camfield, Connor Hairgrove, and Eli DeVaughn.

During round one, it was flurried up-and-down attempts and many putts that caught the edge of the cup. For the most part, the A Team stayed controlled and limited the damage. The only big struggle was that they were birdie-less in the first round, but there were more to come in the second round. Autry led the team at +6 after the first round followed closely by DJ Waller and Grant Camfield at +8. 

The B Team fought hard and did well, but just couldn't avoid a couple big numbers on the scorecard during round one.

Round two came along and the conditions were slightly better, and nearly everyone improved. The B Team had a few birdies sprinkled on the scorecard through Holt, Ingle, and Joyner. Joyner after struggling early, parred seven straight holes and led the B Team in the tournament at +21 followed by Holt at +22. As a team, they finished in 9th place out of 12 teams

For the A Team, Autry found an incredible rhythm and bounced back from a frustrating first round. Five birdies, including back-to-back birdies on holes one and two, highlighted his round and he finished +6 for the tournament and in fourth place overall. Camfield and Hairgrove also had a strong round. While Camfield stayed consistent to his first round score, he found the cup for two birdies. Hairgrove improved by six shots with the help of getting a birdie on hole 13. With valiant effort, they almost gave themselves the chance to jump a couple teams on the leaderboard and come tied for 5th, but came up just short. They finished in 7th place as a team.
