JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – After a challenging start to the 2013 fall slate at Sevierville, Tenn.-based Highlands Course at Eagles' Landing, Carson-Newman's men's golf team will take aim at the Cougar Point Course at Kiawah Island.
Gavin Hay was the Eagles' top finisher a year ago at the event hosted by USC Aiken while Rafael Jackson and Jonathan Kim-Moss wound up in ties for 43rd and 53rd, respectively.
Last year, Jackson shot a 77 (+5) Monday and three over Tuesday with a 75 for a combined score of 152.
The Eagles are coming off an eighth place finish at their home invitational.
Jackson (Rutledge, Tenn.) led the charge for the Eagles with a 72 (E) on day two. He improved five strokes for the second round to finish at 149 (+5) for the tournament. The finish was good enough for a tie for 23rd.
Fellow senior Jonathan Kim-Moss ended with a two-day 150 (+6) and in a tie for 29th.
Nicklaus Kennedy, Dalton Reese and Nathan Hodge rounded out the scoring for C-N as individuals with a 152 (+8), 156 (+12) and 165 (+21), respectively.
Carson-Newman finished 11th at last year's Kiawah Island Invitational.
