Final Results

WAYNESVILLE, N.C. - The Drexel golf team completed its first tournament of the fall on a rainy Tuesday in North Carolina. The Dragons tied for sixth place in the 15-team field at the J.T. Poston Invitational. Drexel was the defending championship, but Lipscomb battled the elements and came away with the win.

Brockton English, who redshirted last year, had the best tournament of the Drexel five. He finished at even par and tied for ninth overall. Drue Nicholas had the best round of the day at Waynesville Inn and Golf Club. The senior fired a one-under 69 on the par-70, 6,720-yard course and tied for 14th place. Caleb Taylor ended the tournament at 4-over par, while Griffin Mitchell finished at 10-over par (220). John Stevenson completed his first tournament at the school at 225.

Lipscomb led from start to finish and shot 11-under par over the three days, eight shots better than Kennesaw State. Coastal Carolina placed third, one stroke behind Kennesaw State and one shot in from of the host, Western Carolina. The Catamounts were at 1-under par. Fifth place belonged to Xavier at +13, one shot better than Drexel and James Madison.

The Dragons return to Philadelphia and will be back in action in less than a week. They will play in the 2024 Temple Invitational, which will take place this weekend (Sept. 21-22). The tournament will be played at The 1912 Club in Plymouth Meeting, Pa.
