FERRUM WINS STATE GOLF TOURNAMENT
Medalist Stuart Smith shot a 74 Sunday to lead Ferrum to its first Division II-III Intercollegiate State golf tournament title.
The Panthers finished with 310 both days at The Homestead's par-72 Lower Cascades Course. Ferrum's only challenge came from Longwood, which cut its opening round of 321 by 15 strokes Sunday to finish with a total of 627. Randolph-Macon was third with a total of 635.
Matt Jordan of Altavista shot a 77 for Ferrum, J.J. Derman had a 79 and R.J. Weaver an 80.
Smith, a former Cave Spring player, had a two-day total of 7-over par 151. Another former Cave Spring player, Shane Amburgey of Randolph-Macon, and Eric Levin of Longwood were the second-lowest at 153.
Roanoke finished fourth at 640, and defending champion Christopher Newport was fifth with a 643.
