Mount, NC
- The Battling Bishop golf team of
North Carolina Wesleyan hosted its Second Annual Ford's
Colony Fall Challenge on Saturday and Sunday, kicking off the 2009-10
season for third-year head coach Mark Cole and his squad.
Behind an impressive 285 on Sunday, Wesleyan pulled to
within one stroke of the title to secure a runner-up finish
with a team score of 588 (+12). The Bishops (all pictured)
had one top-5, two top-10, and five top-20 finishes in the
tourney.
The two-round event, which featured
63 golfers from ten institutions, was won for the second
straight year by Cape Fear Community College with a total
team score of 587 (+11).
Barton's Daniel Claytor took home medalist honors with a
six-under 138 (69-69).

NCWC squad made their collegiate debuts. Wesleyan's "A"
team was led by freshman Jack Gilbert, who carded rounds of
75 and 70 to tie for 3rd place. Teammate Greg Hughes
tied for ninth with scores of 77 and 70, while sophomore
Adam Coelho recorded rounds of 78 and 72 to tie for 18th.
Freshmen Stefan Emmoth and Kristoffer Idestal rounded out
the "A" squad with two-day totals of 150 (73-77) and 154
(81-73), respectively.
The Battling Bishops also
entered three individuals in the tourney, with

playing their first collegiate event.
Also of note, Wesleyan's
