The College of Charleston's Daniel Brunson leads the individual title race
after firing 67-68, while Josh Goldstein added a 69 to the Cougar effort on
Saturday and is tied for 13th at 144. Bruce McDonald is also in 13th after
a second-round 73, while John Assey rounded out Charleston scoring with a

shooting a 284 on Saturday. GSU is four strokes behind College of
Charleston and seven back of Furman. Western Carolina is in fourth at
even-par 576, while ETSU, the defending Southern Conference Champion, is
fifth at 578.
In the race for medalist honors, C of C's Brunson (135) holds a
three-stroke lead over Furman's Sligh and Western Carolina's Greg Lewis
(138). The Paladins' Kirk Satterfield is in fourth with a 139 total, while
Wofford's Jon Stephenson and Georgia Southern's David Elmore are tied for
fifth at 140. Stephenson and Chattanooga's Nick Bamber each fired a 67 to
earn low round honors on Saturday.
The third and final round of the 66th Southern Conference Golf Championship
will begin Sunday at 8 a.m. at the 6,800-yard, par 72 Furman University
