WKU Slated to Compete in Bash in the Boro

10/18/2020 11:51:00 AM | Men's Golf


BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Men's Golf heads south to the peach state for Georgia Southern's Bash in the Boro beginning on Monday. The Hilltoppers will play 54 holes at the par-72, 6,850-yard Georgia Southern University Golf Course.
 
Continuing the trend collegiate men's golf has followed so far this season, six golfers will be in the lineup with four scores counting each round. For the third time this season, WKU will not directly play with other schools, but will rather play in two groups of three by itself.
 
Leading the Tops in the lineup is redshirt senior co-captain Tom Bevington. The England native is coming off his second top-25 finish of the season at the Intercollegiate at The Grove.
 
Fellow co-captains graduate senior Christian Tooley and senior Caleb O'Toole follow Bevington in the lineup in the second and third spots, respectively. Sophomore Luke Fuller will record his third start of the season at No. 4.
 
Redshirt senior Dawson McDaniel is slated to return to action for the Tops in the fifth spot while freshman Connery Meyer rounds out the lineup.
 
Seven teams are scheduled to compete in the Bash including Augusta, Appalachian State, Francis Marion, Troy, Wofford, WKU and host Georgia Southern.
 
Head coach Chan Metts returns to Georgia Southern where he served as an assistant coach for the Eagles in the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons. In his tenure there, the squad competed in the 2017 NCAA Regionals and finished second in the Sun Belt Conference Championships in both seasons.
 
 "I'm excited to return to Statesboro and I'm hoping I can give a good game plan to the guys for this course," said Metts on the event. "They've been working hard since we got back from The Grove and I'm ready to see their preparation translate to the scorecard."
 
WKU is scheduled to tee off at 7 a.m. CT and play 36 holes on Monday. Live scoring for the event can be found here.
