By golfclubsc on April 19, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

As a consideration of pandemic concerns the usual 3-day schedule for many conferences has been adjusted to play a 36-hole first day and an 18 hole final day.

The compressed tournament schedule for teams does not allow much time to enjoy a good day or recover from a bad day.

Three area conferences have completed the rugged first two rounds and now are set for the final round on Tuesday.

Furman’s Rheaume leads SoCon Women’s championship

Sarah-Eve Rheaume is the only golfer under par at the SoCon Women’s championship being played at Kiawah Island.

The Lady Paladin junior shot an opening round of 2-under par 70 and followed it up with an even better 4-under par 68 on the Oak Point course.

Rheaume now has a 6-shot lead going into the final round.

Bailey Dunstan from Samford stands at even par one shot in front of Rheaume’s teammate Madison Moosa and Julie Goodson from East Tennessee.

Furman is the defending champion and has some work to do to catch the leader in the final round.

East Tennessee running away with SoCon Men’s championship

ETSU has a commanding lead after the first two rounds of the SoCon Men’s Championship being played at Reynolds Plantation.

The Bucs hold an 11-shot advantage over Western Carolina with Furman in third place and Wofford fourth after 36 holes.

The reason for ETSU’s big lead is the play of Archie Davies and Trevor Hulbert. The two hold the top-two spots on the individual leader board and are a combined 14-under par.

Davies has the lead at 9-under par after shooting rounds of 69 and 66.

Teammate Hulbert is at 5-under par and tied with Western Carolina’s Louis Theys and Pierre Viallaneix for second place.

Furman’s Keller Harper shot identical rounds of 2-under par 70 and is at 4-under par and in 5th place.
