The High Point University men's golf team shot 307 in the second and final round of the WSSU Invitational to finish atop the team standings with a combined team score of 610. Sophomore Curtis Brotherton shot a second-round 73 to win the individual medley with a 36-hole score of 143.

“I thought we played well,” head coach JB White said. “Curtis hung in there and picked up the win and Chase improved a lot from yesterday so I am pretty happy about that. I was also very happy that the four guys who went out knowing their scores were going to count got after it and played hard. We were handicapped by not having a fifth scoring player but the team rose to the challenge.”

Brotherton's 73 was the best score by any golfer in the second round. He finished three strokes ahead of second-place finisher Josh Davis of Brevard and seven strokes ahead of fellow Panther Nick Goins who finished in third with a two-round score of 150 (71-79).

Freshman Chase Wilson recovered from an opening round 84 with a 75 on Sunday to finish in a tie for ninth with a total score of 159. Junior Evan LaRocque tied with Wilson in ninth place after shooting an 80 in the final round.

Senior Mark Hammond shot a 78 on Sunday and finished in fifth to lead a trio of HPU golfers competing as individuals with a two-day score of 153. Senior Hogan Nance shot a 77 to finish in sixth with a score of 154 (77-77) and freshman Dan Wayson shot 76 to end the event in seventh with a score of 155 (79-76).

The Panthers' total team score of 610 was ten strokes better than second-place finisher Brevard College. Host Winston-Salem State finished in third with a team score of 649 while NC Central shot 659 and finished in fourth. Hampton University rounded out the team standings in fifth with a total score of 710.

High Point next travels to Spartanburg, S.C., to play in the Wofford Invitational on April 12 and 13. It is the Panthers' final event before the Big South Championships.
