DALTON, Ga. - It was a historic day for Men's Golf as play concluded at the CCS Championship. Drew Silman finished in first place, becoming the first player in school history to win a Conference Championship.

As a team, Covenant placed third with a score of (+47) after having its best round of the tournament on Wednesday, shooting 297 (+9) as a team. This marks the best Conference Championship finish for Covenant in the NCAA Division III era, dating back to 2013. 

HOW IT HAPPENED:

• Silman completed his wire-to-wire win with a round of 74 (+2) to finish the week at (-2). With the lead firmly in his hands, Silman was steady, shooting even par on the final nine holes to earn a five-stroke victory. He made 14 pars for the round and one birdie on the par-five, 10th hole. 

• Titus Cooke jumped five places up the leaderboard to tied 10th with an even-par round of 72. The senior ended the week at (+10). He had a really solid day with three birdies on the scorecard. 

• Freshman Ayden Cordell took home 15th place at his first CCS Championship, shooting a round of 75 (+3) to end the week at (+16). It was a roller-coaster day for Cordell that included one eagle, three birdies, and six bogeys, but ultimately he scored very well.  

• Bo Luff moved up seven spots on the leaderboard to 22nd with a round of 76 (+4) to put his 54-hole score at (+25). The senior made 15 pars in his best round of the week.

• Grant Little also had his best round of the week, shooting 79 (+7) to finish the week at (+27). On the leaderboard he placed tied 24th. 

UP NEXT: Covenant will find out on May 12 if Silman is selected to compete in the NCAA Division III National Championship as an individual.
