Golf tourney

washed out

Chris Bitzenhofer and Jonathan Greene both carded a 39-43--82 and finished tied for 50th out of 90 golfers.

Mick Moberg (41-44--85) and Pete Skirpstas (42-43--85) tied for 73rd, while Scott Woodard (41-46--87) tied for 82nd.

Tournament host Belmont Abbey won the 18-team event by one stroke with a 299.

The tournament concluded Mount Olive's fall season. The Trojans begin their spring season in February.
