JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – The Carson-Newman Eagles men's golf team will begin the spring portion of the 2013-14 season by playing in the 2014 Spring Kickoff Intercollegiate Tournament at Fleming Island Golf Club in Orange Park on Monday and Tuesday.

The tournament on Florida's First Coast marks a return to action for the Eagles after participating in a challenging fall portion of the schedule.

The Spring Kickoff Intercollegiate is hosted by a pair of South Atlantic Conference schools: Wingate University and Lincoln Memorial University.

In its last tournament, Carson-Newman tied for 14th place at the McDonough Cup at Eagle Creek Golf Club hosted by Rollins University in late October.

At the McDonough Cup, senior Jonathan Kim-Moss (Mississauga, Canada) had his fourth straight top-10 finish as he came in tied for second place in the tournament, as he shot 5-under-par for the tournament, finishing only four strokes back of the winner Robert Prior of Lander who was 9-under-par for the tournament.  Kim-Moss finished his solid tournament with a 1-under-par 71, and he was at or under-par in all three rounds played at Eagle Creek Golf Club.

The tie for second was also the second consecutive top-five finish for Kim-Moss after he finished in fifth place at TVA Credit Union Classic in Florence, Ala.
